A traffic stop at around 7:10-p.m. Monday in Adams County resulted in the arrest of a Union County man on numerous charges. Authorities say Adams County Deputies attempted to make a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Mark Alan Normandeau, of Creston, but he failed to yield to their emergency lights and siren.

After he eventually decided to stop, the K9 Baxo was deployed and alerted to the odor of narcotics. At that point, Normandeau became uncooperative and combative toward deputies. He was placed under arrest on charges that include:

• Possession of a controlled substance/Meth-1st offense;
• PCS/Marijuana-1st offense;
• Unlawful possession of prescription drugs;
• Possession of drug paraphernalia;
• Carrying weapons;
• Felon in possession of an offensive weapon;
• Interference with official acts;
• and Assault on a Peace Officer.

Normandeau was also cited for  No insurance, Fraudulent use of registration, operating a non-registered vehicle, and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. He was transported by Prescott EMS to the hospital in Creston, for treatment.

Adams County deputies were assisted by the Union County Sheriff’s Office and Creston Police Department’s K9 Unit.
