A speeding car lead to drug charges against a 61-year-old man from East York Feb. 14.
Caledon OPP reports they responded to a complaint shortly before 8 a.m. regarding a speeding car on Old Church Road, near Regional Road 50. Officers were able to locate a 2002 blue Acura at Old Church and Innis Lake Roads.
The vehicle was occupied by a male driver and two male passengers. Upon speaking with the driver, the officer detected an odour of alcohol on his breath. Subsequently, the driver was escorted to the back of the officer’s cruiser for the purpose of a roadside test. During the investigation, the officer learned that the driver was on parole with conditions to not consume, purchase or be in possession of prescribed drugs or alcohol. As a result, the male was arrested and a search of the driver uncovered a quantity of drugs, believed to be cocaine.
As a result of the arrest, the officers searched the vehicle and uncovered a quantity of drugs, believed to be marijuana and hashish in the possession of a 17 year-old male.
The man was charged with possession of a schedule I substance. A 17-year-old was charged with two counts of possession of a scheduled substance.
