On Friday 21 February 2014 just before 11:00 PM a Sarnia Uniformed patrol officer observed a pick-up truck on Talfourd Street with one headlight not working. The officer turned his cruiser around to conduct a stop and the driver decided to evade him. The male driver pulled into a driveway and the officer located him as the man was getting out of the truck. The 26 year old Sarnia man was arrested for Flight from a Peace Officer. During a search of the man the officer found approximately 60 hydromorphone tablets and 14 grams of cocaine. A large amount of cash was also found in the male’s possession.
The combined street value of both drugs is estimated to be approximately $2,600.00. The man has been charged with Flight While Pursued, two counts of Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking and he was also issued a ticket for Driving Without Proper Headlights.
