Around 5:30 p.m. on July 5, 2021, we received a call regarding a suspicious person at a residence on College Street. Information provided was that a man appeared to be armed with brass knuckles and was believed to be intoxicated by drugs.

Officers arrived in the area, saw the man and confirmed that he was armed with brass knuckles. Upon seeing the Police cruisers, the man took off running down an unmarked laneway off of Adie Street into a wooded area. Officers found the man on College Street where he no longer had the back pack he was carrying when they initially saw him. Officers began to chase the man on foot and saw him discard various items during the chase.

Just before 6:00 p.m. Officers arrested the man in a laneway off of Adie Street and charged him with Unauthorized Possession of a Weapon.

Upon searching the man, Officers located over $1,200 in cash. The Officers retraced the man’s steps and located the backpack that the man disposed of while he was fleeing. Inside the backpack, Officers found a substantial amount of cash and the following drugs;

  • Over 300 Methamphetamine pills
  • Over 13 grams of Fentanyl
  • Over 488 grams of Crystal Meth
  • Over 89 grams of Cocaine
  • 13 pills containing an unknown substance
  • Close to 16 grams of Cannabis

The approximate value of the drugs seized is over $63,700.

Officers also located two sets of brass knuckles, one containing a folding knife, bear spray, a scale and packaging materials.
