The accused was stopped for a traffic violation and subsequently arrested for failing a roadside screening device test.
A police officer found a bag containing 42.5 grams of cocaine on the ground near the passenger side of the accused's vehicle.
The Crown relied on circumstantial evidence to prove possession.
The court found that the evidence, including the dampness of the bag and the fact that the area was a busy intersection, did not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused was the only person who could have possessed the drugs.
The accused was acquitted.
