An RCMP patch is seen on the shoulder of an assistant commissioner, in Surrey, B.C., on Friday, April 28, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck Two residents of Hinton have been charged by RCMP in relation to a drug trafficking investigation. In January, Mounties received information about an individual trafficking drugs from an address in Hinton. Hinton RCMP Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) executed a warrant on May 30 at the address, seizing 30 grams of fentanyl, eight grams of cocaine and smaller amounts of other drugs. A 38 year-old man and a 32 year-old woman were charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The man was also charged with trafficking in a controlled substance. They are both set to appear in court on June 18. 'I want to start by thanking the public for coming forth with the information that allowed us to start this investigation,' said Sgt. Shiloh Fragomeni, detachment commander of the Hinton RCMP in a statement. 'This investigation highlights how good information, paired with specialized units such as Hinton RCMP CRU, can help keep our communities safe by removing drugs from our streets and arresting those responsible for trafficking them.'

King County deputy, first to identify Ted Bundy, retires
BURIEN, Wash. - Burien's police chief recognized King County Sgt. Henry McLauchlan for his 46 years of service on Wednesday. Sergeant McLauchlan joined the sheriff's office in 1979 and spent 25 years working in Burien. King County Sheriff Patti Cole Tindall presented him with a certificate of retirement, along with a cake, thanking him for his service. McLauchlan says he was going to retire a few years ago, but got the opportunity to supervise the Crime Reduction Unit, teaming up with mental health professionals. "I told myself when I got to the point that it was difficult to get up in the morning, it's now time, and there is a piece of me that you go, 'I've got to be able to take care of my people,' so if something happens, you got to be able to support them. I can still do that, but I am not sure how long I'd be laid up in the hospital if I did," McLauchlan said. The ceremony was held in the same room where the Green River Task Force was set up. McLauchlan worked on the Gary Ridgway case, and was the first person to identify Ted Bundy while working security at the University of Puget Sound. He ran the license plate and got all of Bundy's information for investigators. McLauchlan now plans to turn off his phone and sleep, as getting up at 3:30 a.m. every day has been a little too much.
