The accused was stopped at a R.I.D.E. spot check where an officer smelled marijuana and observed erratic behaviour.
After a brief interaction, the accused was arrested for possession of marijuana and placed in a police cruiser.
At the end of the officer's shift, cocaine and a heroin/fentanyl mixture were found in the cruiser where the accused had been seated.
The court dismissed the accused's Charter application, finding the initial interaction and search incident to arrest were lawful.
The court concluded the accused placed the drugs in the cruiser and found him guilty of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, and simple possession of heroin.
