Drug & Suspended Driving Charges After Wawa Traffic Stop

Drug and suspended driving charges have been laid after a traffic stop in Wawa.

Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say officers conducting general patrol around 11 o'clock last night stopped a vehicle on George Street, with subsequent investigation revealing the driver's licence was suspended while a search of the vehicle uncovered a small amount of suspected cocaine.

The 27-year-old Wawa man's been charged with driving while under suspension and possession of a Schedule I substance - cocaine - but released from custody with a court date next month.
