Perth County OPP have arrested two people and charged a third following a traffic stop in Listowel last week.
On Thursday, April 9th just after 4:30 pm, police stopped a vehicle on Davidson Street North after noticing the validation sticker on the license plate was expired.
During the stop, officers noticed that cannabis was readily available to the driver in the vehicle. Police also located methamphetamine on the passenger. While being interviewed, the driver provided a false name, was suspended from driving and had probation orders.
As a result, the 31-year-old driver from North Huron, identified as Jamie-Lynn Gilkinson, the 21-year-old passenger from North Perth, identified as Jeremy Welsh and the 39-year-old vehicle owner from North Huron, identified as Adam Konkle, who allowed the vehicle to be driven by someone without insurance, are facing a number of charges.
Those include Obstruct a Peace Officer, Fail to Comply With Probation Order and Drive Motor Vehicle with Cannabis Readily Available.
The accused have been released and will have a court date scheduled for later this summer at the Ontario Court of Justice in Stratford.
