A New Bedford man is in court facing drugs and weapons charges.

Det. Captain Steve Vicente says officers stopped a motor vehicle at Route 18 and Conway Street last night.

They observed the operator, 29 year old Shaun Jones of Purchase Street, had a sheath with three knives in it.

Police later found 22 individual bags of crack cocaine, and $750 in cash.

Jones was placed under arrest and is scheduled to appear in New Bedford District Court.
