A 55-year-old man is facing two charges following a hazardous materials incident at the RCMP detachment in Coquitlam.

It's alleged the man walked in Monday and spread around a powdery substance that he claimed was poison.

Mounties say the man was immediately arrested and the detachment was evacuated until it could be confirmed there was no danger.

The man is facing charges of public mischief and possession of a controlled substance and has been released on a promise to appear in provincial court on July 16.
