N.S. woman charged with drug trafficking after Jeep crashes into Shelburne County home
A woman has been charged with drug trafficking after her vehicle left the road and crashed into a home in Nova Scotia's Shelburne County last week.
The RCMP responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash on Upper Clyde Road in Upper Clyde River, N.S., shortly after 1 p.m. on May 26.
Police say a Jeep Grand Cherokee had been travelling along the road when the driver lost control of the vehicle, which left the road and struck a house.
A 41-year-old man who was inside the home was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
The driver of the vehicle and her passenger, a 68-year-old woman from Clarke's Harbour, weren't injured.
The RCMP says officers found a quantity of cocaine, cash and drug paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking when they searched the vehicle and driver's bag.
The driver, Tamera Paige Smith of Amirault Hills, was arrested and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine.
She appeared in Yarmouth provincial court on May 27 and was released on conditions pending future court appearances.
