22-year-old arrested with nearly 3 kilograms of cocaine in drug trafficking bust
An Edmonton man is facing multiple charges after a one-week drug trafficking investigation found almost three kilograms of cocaine, eight grams of methamphetamine and over 200 oxycodone tablets in his possession.
On July 16, the Alberta RCMP Community Response Team searched a residence in west Edmonton, a storage locker in Sherwood Park and a car, also in Edmonton.
It was there that they seized the drugs as well as $65,810 and 'numerous' cell phones.
In a release Tuesday, RCMP said the 22-year-old was arrested on charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000 and breaching a release order.
The man was on a release order from a previous charge that involved possession for the purpose of trafficking in February.
He was held for a bail hearing and brought into custody.
He's set to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Sherwood Park Wednesday.

A Calgary woman was unable to complete a breathalyzer test. Now, she can't drive
A Calgary woman says she had her driver's licence suspended after being unable to complete a breathalyzer test — and some experts say the situation is more common than you might think. Pam Lacusta, 58, was driving on Stoney Trail in April when she was pulled over by Calgary police, who administered a breathalyzer test. Lacusta attempted the test 30 times and couldn't complete it. The officer handed her an administrative penalty for failing to provide a proper breath sample — a penalty that carries the same consequences as driving while impaired. Now, Lacusta must complete a driver's education course and install an interlock device in her car before she can drive again. Her prior insurance now refuses to cover her. "I feel like I'm being punished for something that I never did," said Lacusta, who said she doesn't drink for religious reasons. Later on the day she was ticketed, Lacusta took a urine test at a private clinic at her own expense to prove she wasn't drinking. She sent CBC News a copy of the negative results. Edmonton-based paralegal Sandra Weber said she hears of situations like Lacusta's fairly regularly. Weber said people may struggle to complete a roadside test due to medical conditions like lung cancer or asthma, compounded by the stress of completing a test in front of an officer. Once someone has received a penalty for failing to complete a breathalyzer, she said, it can be difficult to fight. "It's up to the recipient … to prove that there was something wrong with the machine or something that the police had done wrong," said Weber, who works with Moreau Law. "It's a very challenging situation and without any medical evidence it's very difficult to overcome these types of tickets." Lacusta did appeal her penalty with a provincial adjudicator, who turned her down. Lacusta said her difficulty with the test may have been due to a recent Botox injection that kept her from making a proper seal with her mouth. She also later learned that she had two suspected rib fractures, but not in time to include that information in her appeal. 'Not enough puff' Recent research out of the University of Sheffield in the U.K. suggests there may be people without severe lung or breathing problems who nevertheless struggle to complete breathalyzer tests. "There is a small, but significant, subset of people who just don't have enough puff to be able to operate the machine successfully," said lead researcher Galen Ives, who noted that older people, short people and women are more likely to struggle. Ives said police should be more willing to offer blood or urine tests as an alternative to people who try and fail to complete breathalyzer tests, though he acknowledged there would be practical hurdles to testing at a second location. A spokesperson for the Calgary Police Service said she couldn't comment on Lacusta's situation, but said anyone who believes they are medically unable to complete a breathalyzer test should tell the officer at the scene. A spokesperson for the provincial minister of justice said if people can't provide breath samples they may be asked to provide blood or urine samples "where certain legal requirements are met." Lacusta said blood and urine tests were not offered in her situation, and she believes they should be more widely available to people who can't provide a breath sample. For now, she's relying on her friends and her bicycle to get around the city, but still hopes to fight her penalty and have her clean driving record restored.

Montreal drug case threatened after prosecutor admits to relationship with defence lawyer
Social Sharing A criminal case against an alleged drug trafficking network operating in Quebec could be derailed after one of the Crown prosecutors on the case admitted to having a physical relationship with a member of the defence team while pre-trial hearings were underway. The admission, initially reported in La Presse, is confirmed in court documents entered into evidence earlier this week. The documents reveal prosecutor Alice Bourbonnais-Rougeau initially lied to her supervisors about having an intimate relationship with defence lawyer Mathieu Rondeau-Poissant, before finally admitting to it. The two lawyers were part of opposing legal teams in a case against eight men accused of operating an online cannabis trafficking network alleged to have ties to organized crime. Bourbonnais-Rougeau is part of a special team of prosecutors in Montreal that deals with complex cases, the Bureau de la grande criminalité et des affaires spéciales. Rondeau-Poissant represented one of the accused, David Keith Bishop. Provincial police say the network used fraudulently obtained Health Canada medical certificates to produce and sell cannabis online, involving 70,000 transactions totalling $15 million. Bourbonnais-Rougeau and Rondeau-Poissant are no longer working on the case, but defence lawyers have filed a request to halt proceedings, alleging the relationship was a conflict of interest and that the two may have exchanged privileged information. Relationship 'not the best idea of the century' The eight accused were arrested in January 2024, and several pre-trial hearings have been held since. Court documents show the relationship between Bourbonnais-Rougeau and Rondeau-Poissant began in December of last year and ended in May. Rondeau-Poissant stopped working on the case that same month, and that's also when Bourbonnais-Rougeau first talked to her supervisor about the relationship, after a member of the defence team alleged a possible conflict of interest. Bourbonnais-Rougeau told her supervisor in late May that any suggestion of an intimate relationship with Rondeau-Poissant was false, and that they had a friendship that involved having lunch occasionally and nothing more. But her story soon changed. In a June 4 note to her supervisor, Bourbonnais-Rougeau confessed she had intimate relations with Rondeau-Poissant on two occasions during lunch hours in December 2024, admitting "it wasn't the best idea of the century." It was only in a revised version of that note sent the following day that Bourbonnais-Rougeau revealed the intimate relationship continued beyond December "Mr. Poissant and I have never been a couple, nor have we had a relationship that went beyond friendship," Bourbonnais-Rougeau began in the note. "I must, however, inform you that during occasional dinners, there have been a few occasions when we have had physical encounters, notably in December and later in 2025," she continued. "I am aware that I found myself in a conflict of interest situation, and I acknowledge that this situation was not disclosed in a timely manner," she said. In minutes from a meeting held with her supervisors on June 11, Bourbonnais-Rougeau explained why she initially lied about the nature of the relationship. "I'm human. I panicked. I wasn't comfortable with that, but it wasn't done in a malicious way," Bourbonnais-Rougeau said at the meeting. CBC reached out to Rondeau-Poissant for comment but didn't hear back in time for publication. Case could be thrown out The revelation has put the future of the entire case in doubt, with the defence lawyers now preparing arguments for a request to have the case dismissed. During the duration of the relationship, there were several pre-trial hearings, including discussions of a possible plea agreement and a request to exclude evidence, with both lawyers in attendance along with several other lawyers from both legal teams. In her note to supervisors, Bourbonnais-Rougeau insisted the relationship didn't affect the case. "Despite our personal circumstances, we never, ever had any inappropriate discussions about the case. I never obtained or shared any privileged information," Bourbonnais-Rougeau said. One of the documents filed in court this week outlines the prosecution's position on the request for a stay of proceedings. "It is clear that neither Alice Bourbonnais-Rougeau nor Mathieu Rondeau-Poissant have engaged in any conduct likely to jeopardize the fairness of the proceedings," the prosecution insisted. "Given the fact that both lawyers are no longer involved in the case, there is no risk of harm to the integrity of justice," the document continued, noting that no evidence has been presented suggesting any exchange of privileged information. Defence lawyers in the case contacted by CBC refused to comment. They'll make arguments in the request for a stay of proceedings at a hearing next month. The Quebec Crown prosecutor's office, the Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pénales (DPCP), also refused to comment on the case, other than to say Bourbonnais-Rougeau is still a part of the Bureau de la grande criminalité et des affaires spéciales, but no longer assigned to this case. Appealing previous drunk-driving conviction This is not the first time Bourbonnais-Rougeau has made headlines for questionable conduct. In 2023, she was found guilty of drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident after she hit another vehicle while parking her car. When a witness called police, Bourbonnais-Rougeau took refuge in her apartment, telling responding officers she was a Crown prosecutor and refusing to allow them to enter until they produced a search warrant. She appealed her conviction in Superior Court but lost the appeal last fall. She's now appealing that decision before the Quebec Court of Appeal. If the conviction is upheld, it could lead to disciplinary proceedings with the Quebec Bar, which has the power to disbar lawyers convicted of a crime.
