An investigation into a possible gas leak has ultimately led to drug charges for a Wallaceburg man.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers responded to Elgin Street in Wallaceburg to conduct a well-being check at around 4 p.m. on Thursday, after it was reported that a man was inside a home with a possible gas leak.
Authorities said the man was uncooperative as emergency crews attempted to investigate the gas leak and he was arrested for breaching the peace.
Following a search of the home, officers seized a large amount of suspected cocaine.
As a result, a 49-year-old Wallaceburg man has been charged with possession of a controlled substance with the purpose of trafficking. He has since been released with a future court date.
