An Eau Claire man arrested after a search by the Augusta K9 Unit appeared in Eau Claire County Court.

According to the Augusta Police Department, back in February of last year, a traffic stop occurred at the Kwik Trip on Otter Road in Eau Claire after officers noticed suspicious behavior from the driver and passenger.

The K9 unit, Turbo, indicated there were drugs in the vehicle. After a search, they found methamphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, and other items. They also found $5,000 in currency.

Jacob Restad is facing a handful of possession charges. During his arraignment on Tuesday, he entered a not guilty plea to the charges against him. He’s scheduled to be back in court on March 9th.
