Two men arrested, will face drug charges in

Chippewa County Court

For some, Friday the 13th is an especially unlucky day. For others, it’s all superstition. But if you happen to be either of

two men involved in a traf.c stop the morning of said day, the point is largely moot.

Rees Bura., age 26, and Dylan Kirchner, age 28, were stopped and the .nd made after Stanley Police received calls of an assault at 36518 90th Avenue, just outside the city lim – its. The two were boo.ed at 6:52 a.m. the morning of Friday August 13th in the Chippewa County Jail. As of Monday morning, the full report was not yet complete, but Chief Lance Weiland of the Stanley Police .lled in some details for us. "I guess the short of it is they were called to an assault at the corner of North Fran.lin and 10th Avenue," Weiland said of K9 Of.cer Trey and his handler Tyler Lewien, then on duty. Al – though the two left the scene prior to of.cer arrival, a vehicle description provided at the scene resulted in the vehicle being found by Of.cer Lewien, who initiated a traf.c stop.

85 grams of meth, 10 grams of heroin, and $900 cash were

among the finds from a traffic stop Friday the 13th.

One man arrested initially gave false information such that he

had to be fingerprinted and these sent to the FBI, while the men also had fake South Carolina driver's licenses, Weiland said. A white powder substance was being sent to the State Crime Lab for identification, as police weren't able to get a definitive posi – tive on the substance. Once all is ready, potential charges include Possession with intent to deliver various drugs, from prescription, to THC, on to methamphetamine and heroin. The final charges may be somewhat different from those the men were booked on. "The one who provided false information, and we didn't know it, we charged him with obstructing," Weiland said of initial devel – opments. Moral of the story?

Dogs have powerful noses, and can find what humans, might not otherwise catch. Yay for Trey!
