A 37-year-old man is facing felony drug charges after he was busted with meth at the North Platte homeless shelter.

At around 11:06 a.m., on December 30, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to the report of two residents smoking marijuana at The Connection Homeless Shelter, 414 East 6th Street.

A field test was conducted on the contents of one syringe, and it tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine.

Following further investigation, officers arrested Jason Vanhofwegen, and charged him with felony possession of methamphetamine.
