A young man from Brampton is facing charges after a stop at Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) blitz early Saturday morning.
Caledon OPP reports officers were carrying out the blitz shortly after midnight on Airport Road, south of Highway 9.
They stopped a southbound black Chevrolet Sonic. Upon speaking with the driver, they detected a strong odour of marijuana inside the vehicle. Further checking of the car revealed a quantity of green leafy substance inside a plastic water bottle, believed to be marijuana.
As a result, the driver and two other occupants of the vehicle were arrested and detained pending a more thorough search. During the search, officers located more marijuana and drug paraphernalia inside the car.
The 18-year-old was charged with possession of a schedule II substance. The two other occupants of the car were released unconditionally.
