Saskatoon police said a man who tried to elude officers had methamphetamine and cocaine in his possession.

Officers said they made a traffic stop just before 11 p.m. CT on Nov. 13 to investigate criminal conditions of the registered owner.

Police said while an officer was attempting to verify the identity of the driver, a woman exited the Jeep and the vehicle fled from the 1600-block of 29th Street West.

The air support unit said they located the Jeep and followed it to an alley in the 200-block of Avenue T North where the driver abandoned the vehicle.

He was taken into custody after a short foot pursuit, police said, and a search turned up the drugs.
