Traffic stop results in $159K drug seizure

A Windsor woman faces multiple charges following an early morning traffic stop.

A patrol officer conducted a stop at around 2:30 a.m. Monday on Wyandotte Street East near Marentette Avenue. Police say the stop was for a suspected suspended licence.

During the stop, the officer determined that the driver had crystal methamphetamine. The vehicle was then searched, uncovering 475 grams of fentanyl powder, 104 oxycodone pills, 800 counterfeit oxycodone tablets, and 161 grams of cocaine. Also seized were about $1,300 in cash, a Taser, and a safe.

The 29-year-old woman has been charged with five counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

The charges have not been proven in court.
