A 44-year-old from Brunswick House First Nation is facing drug possession and trafficking charges after police executed a search warrant earlier this week.
Superior East OPP say members of the OPP's Northeast Region Community Street Crime Unit, the OPP Northeast Region Canine Unit, and the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service executed the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant at a Brunswick House First Nation residence on Tuesday, with officers seizing unspecified quantities of what's believed to be fentanyl, methamphetamine, hydromorphone, and oxyNEO.
That's led to charges of possession of a schedule I substance - opioid other than heroin; possession of a schedule I substance - opioid other than heroin - for the purpose of trafficking; two counts of possession of other schedule I substances for the purpose of trafficking; and one count of possession of a schedule IV substance for the purpose of trafficking.
The man's been released from custody with a future court date in Chapleau.
