Two men were held in the lockup overnight awaiting court after separate incidents in the capital city.

Shortly after 11 p.m. on Saturday, the RNC pulled over a vehicle in the east end of St. John’s.

Following an investigation, a 37-year-old man was arrested for possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and resisting arrest. The man’s vehicle was impounded.

A few hours later, around 3 a.m., police were called to a west end hotel where they arrested a 31-year-old man on outstanding charges of assaulting a police officer, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, resisting arrest and possession of a prohibited weapon.
