Local man charged after drug bust in Arthur

ARTHUR – A Wellington North man is among three people charged after a drug bust this week in three different communities.

Wellington County OPP officials say officers executed three separate warrants on March 20 as part of a drug trafficking investigation: on George Street in Arthur, Pioneer Drive in Kitchener and on John Carpenter Way in North Dumfries.

"As a result, a firearm was seized, and two individuals are facing drug trafficking charges," police stated in a March 22 press release.

Justin James Frederick Williams-Galley, 28, of Wellington North, was charged with possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine).

Cory Robert Windlinger, 31, of Kitchener, was charged with unauthorized possession of a prohibited/restricted firearm and five counts of possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine, methamphetamine, opioid other than heroin, and other [two counts]).

Both were held for bail.
