Multiple weapons, $27K fentanyl seized in Woodstock traffic stop

A call about a man passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle in Woodstock led police to $27,000 worth of fentanyl and several weapons.

Woodstock police were called to the parking lot of a business on Vansittart Avenue shortly before 4 a.m. on Saturday.

Police allege the man behind the wheel was impaired. A search of the vehicle turned up a large quantity of the deadly opioid fentanyl, a handgun and 12 knives.

A 39-year-old man was arrested. He is charged with possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking, unauthorized possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, operation of a vehicle while impaired, and failure to comply with a release order.

The man is scheduled to appear in court in relation to the charges at a later date.
