The smell of pot coming from a vehicle pulled over by police has led to the arrest of a suspected drug dealer. Grande Prairie RCMP say 22 year old Aaron Albert Bertrand was stopped in the Prairie Mall parking lot for a traffic violation Friday afternoon.
When the officer smelled weed, the vehicle he was driving was searched. In addition to 26 grams of marijuana, 14 grams of cocaine, two cell phones, and $4,410 in cash was also turned up.
Bertrand has been charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of marijuana and possession of proceeds of crime less than $5,000. He’s been released on cash bail and will be back in court on February 1st.
