Just after 4 p.m. on Friday, August 1, Ontario Provincial Police pulled over a vehicle in Garden River First Nation.
Sault Ste. Marie Police took custody of the suspect and helped search the vehicle.
They say they found about 500.3 grams of suspected cocaine, approximately 280.52 grams of suspected fentanyl, cutting agents, around $730 in Canadian currency and two cellular devices.

- Possession of Schedule I Substance for Purpose of Trafficking (Fentanyl)
- Possession of Schedule I Substance for Purpose of Trafficking (Cocaine)
- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime – Under $5,000
None of the allegations have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
