Drug-trafficking charges laid

A Midland man caught with cocaine and ecstasy in his vehicle will appear in court next month on drug-trafficking charges.

Plainclothes officers with the Midland Police Service stopped a vehicle near Queen and Colborne streets on the evening of April 8.

Investigation of an occupant of the vehicle turned up the illegal drugs.

Officers arrested a 20-year-old male, charging him with two counts each of drug possession, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and trafficking.

He was released with a May 21 court date.
