(Supplied/Anishinabek Police Service) A man and woman from Sagamok First Nation are facing multiple charges after a traffic stop late Friday night led to the seizure of suspected drugs. The Anishinabek Police Service said an officer on general patrol 'observed a dirt bike with no lights on travelling with an electric bike being driven by a driver with no helmet.' When the officer activated emergency lights, the dirt bike driver initially slowed before fleeing at high speed. The electric bike was stopped, and police confirmed the driver was suspended and in possession of illicit substances. A search yielded approximately 7.15 grams of suspected fentanyl, 27 grams of suspected cocaine or crystal meth, and less than one gram of crystal meth. As a result, a 32-year-old woman faces charges including failing to stop, driving while under suspension, and 13 counts of drug possession. She was released on an undertaking with conditions and future court appearances scheduled. Police later located the dirt bike driver. 'The driver of the dirt bike that fled the initial traffic stop was subsequently arrested at a residence in Sagamok First Nation,' authorities said in a news release. As a result, the 32-year-old man was charged with failing to stop and released with a future court date. The Anishinabek Police Service reminded the public that community safety is a shared responsibility.
