On Friday night during a RIDE spot check, Shelburne Police seized illegal drugs from two separate vehicles.
In the first incident a cargo delivery truck entered the RIDE program on Owen Sound Street. Officers immediately recognised evidence of drug use and possession in the delivery truck. The sole occupant, 29 year old Nika Gerhard of Mississauga was arrested for possession of marijuana. The investigation further revealed that Gerhard’s drivers licence was under suspension for previous convictions. The male was charged with possession of marijuana and drive while under suspension. He was released on an appearance notice with a court date set in December.
Later that night on county road 124 a red Dodge minivan entered the RIDE program also displaying evidence of illegal drugs in it. Both occupants of the van were arrested under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act. A quantity of marijuana and related evidence was seized. Charged with drug possession were 48 year old randy Armstrong and 23 year old Valerie Armstrong, both of Owen Sound. They were released on appearance notices with court dates in December.
