A traffic stop on Highway 4 earlier this week has resulted in four charges being laid against an Alberta man.

On Wednesday the Swift Current Rural RCMP arrested the 46 year old after responding to a break and enter in progress with an edged weapon in the village of Stewart Valley.

The Brooks resident was charged with criminal harassment, break and enter to commit mischief, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and failure to comply with probation.

The man was kept in custody and was scheduled to make his first appearance in Swift Current Provincial Court this morning.
