On May 30, 2022, at approximately 12:45 AM, an officer on general patrol observed two individuals smoking directly in front of a “no smoking” sign at a local coffee shop in the area of Indian Road and Confederation Street. The officer approached the two and warned them of their actions. The officer queried the two and it was determined that one of them was wanted on outstanding warrants from other jurisdictions.
As a result, that male was arrested and in turn searched. During the search the officer located a satchel containing a .22 calibre revolver. Also located was ammunition and suspected fentanyl. The suspect now faces a number of charges in relation to the items that were found.
