Two people are facing an array of charges after evidence of drug trafficking was discovered during a traffic stop late last week in Regina. On Friday, March 7, just before 8 p.m., officers stopped a vehicle in the area of 8th Avenue and McIntosh Street in West Regina. Police discovered the driver had a suspended license while the passenger was found to be in breach of conditions. The two occupants were arrested shortly after. During the search of the suspects and vehicle, officers discovered items connected with drug trafficking, a conducted energy weapon (Taser), two knives, approximately 187 grams of cocaine, and 120 grams of meth, open liquor and three cartons of cigarettes. A 28-year-old man faces two counts of trafficking a scheduled substance, possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon, possession of the proceeds of crime, and two counts of failing to comply with the conditions of a release order. A 31-year-old woman faces two counts of trafficking a scheduled substance, unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon in addition to the possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime. The pair made their first appearance on these charges in provincial court on Monday.
