A Waseca man has been sent to prison for two years on drug trafficking charges.
Brenden Yew, 26, was sentenced in Meadow Lake Provincial Court on Aug. 16. He was given 731 days for the drug charges, 182 days concurrent for resisting arrest, and 180 days concurrent for two breaches of release conditions.
Yew was also ordered to provide a DNA sample to the national DNA data bank and he was given a lifetime weapons prohibition.
Yew was arrested on May 16 after Meadow Lake RCMP received multiple complaints of a man using a metal pole to break windows at a residence on the 100 block of 7th Avenue West. Yew fled the scene before police arrived but was soon arrested. He discarded a bag containing about 42 grams of cocaine when he fled.
