Saskatoon police say a 19-year-old man, who they mistook for being underage at an off-sale, is now facing weapon and drug charges.

Police said they were completing liquor-related charges against a customer at a bar in the 100-block of 33rd Street West when they saw a man exiting the business empty-handed on Saturday morning.

While confirming the man’s age, police said he became non-compliant and aggressive with them.
