Traffic stop leads to arrest


A 27-year-old man faces drug charges after a traffic stop in the Bolton area Dec. 3.
Caledon OPP reports officers were on general patrol in the area of Coleraine Drive and Mayfield Road when they saw a pick-up truck with an exhaust pipe dragging on the road. They pulled the truck over and noticed the driver was acting suspiciously, reaching over to the passenger side before stopping.
After talking to the driver, officers learned he was bound by a Recognizance Order with conditions; to “keep the peace and be of good behaviour, to not possess non-prescribed drugs and to carry a copy of his release documents with him at all times.”
The driver was requested to produce the release documents, but was unable to comply. Subsequently, he was arrested and a search of the vehicle uncovered a quantity of drugs, believed to be marijuana. Officers also found full and empty containers of alcohol which had been recently purchased.
The accused was transported to the detachment and a further search uncovered more illegal substances, suspected to be crystal meth and ecstasy.
The man was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a schedule I substance, possession of a schedule II substance and failure to comply with recognizance. The driver is further charged with offences under the Liquor Licence Act and the Highway Traffic Act.
