Traffic Stop on Walpole Island Leads to Over a Dozen Charges

A Walpole Island man is facing over a dozen offences following a traffic stop.

Around 8:30 Monday night, Walpole Island Police officers pulled over a vehicle on Delcies Land, but say the driver then took off on foot.

The accused was stopped following a brief chase, and a search of the vehicle turned up suspected cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other drugs.

The 51-year-old is charged with five counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, nine counts of failing to comply with a release order, possession of an item for use in trafficking, and obstructing a peace officer.

The man was remanded into custody following a bail hearing.
