Another Hwy. 40 Traffic Stop Leads To Drug Charges

Two St. Clair Township men have been arrested following a traffic stop on Highway 40 early Sunday morning.

OPP say an officer stopped a vehicle driving erratically around 2:30am just south of Confederation St.

A subsequent search allegedly found suspected Fentanyl and a small knife.

The driver and his passenger were transported to the Lambton OPP Petrolia Detachment where the driver was turned over to a Drug Recognition Expert for testing.

The driver, 25-year-old Aaron Ellis Dell is charged with driving while ability impaired, possession of a schedule one substance, and unauthorized possession of a weapon.

The passenger, 25-year-old Corey Brown is charged with possession of a schedule one substance, and unauthorized possession of a weapon.

Both men were released from custody and will appear in Sarnia court December 14.

Late last week, Lambton OPP reported a traffic stop on Hwy. 40 Thanksgiving Monday led to a significant drug bust and the arrest of five people.
