A Minitonas, Man., driver had a severe case of bad luck Sunday morning when a passing RCMP officer recognized him in a running vehicle that was parked outside a local business.
Police said the officer knew the man was prohibited from driving, and a traffic stop led to an arrest, as well as the discovery of cocaine.
The driver was also suspected, police said, in a gas theft in early October from a Swan River business.
