Ont. man charged after traffic stop yields suspected drugs, impaired driving
A 37-year-old man from Parry Sound faces multiple charges, including impaired driving and drug trafficking, following a traffic stop earlier this month.
On July 3 at about 9 p.m., OPP stopped a vehicle on William Street for several Highway Traffic Act violations.
'Further investigation revealed the driver to be impaired by drug(s) as well as a large quantity of suspected cocaine,' police said in a news release.
Authorities estimated the street value of the drugs found as more than $15,000.
As a result, the driver was charged with drug trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime, possessing more than one licence and driving without a valid permit. Additionally, the accused faces charges of impaired driving and driving with cannabis readily available.
