GUELPH – An Eden Mills woman and Guelph man are facing drug charges following a traffic stop.
Just after 1am on Dec. 6, officers observed an SUV parked near the dead end of Woodlawn Road East. Guelph Police officials say that as officers drove past, the driver started the SUV and tried to leave the area.
“A traffic stop was conducted and an open bottle of alcohol was observed in the passenger door,” police stated in a Dec. 8 press release.
“An initial search of the vehicle revealed cannabis gummies and cigarettes in the centre console. During a further search, officers located quantities of suspected fentanyl, cocaine, crack cocaine, ecstasy and prescription opioids, as well as scales and other evidence of trafficking.”
A 52-year-old Eden Mills woman was charged with five counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.
A 51-year-old Guelph man is charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of unmarked cigarettes and care or control of a vehicle with open alcohol.
Both are to appear in Guelph court on Jan. 2.
