A Christmas Eve drug bust has led to the arrest of a woman in Lac Ste Anne and the seizure of $15,000 to $20,000 worth of drugs and related items.
According to Mayerthorpe RCMP, officers responded to a call of a suspicious and “possibly impaired” vehicle in the Lac Ste Anne area on December 24th; resulting in police conducting a roadside stop.
After speaking with the driver, investigators noted “several suspicious items” in plain site, subsequently resulting in officers arresting the woman for drug-related offences and searching the vehicle.
Upon further investigation officers found significant amounts of substances they suspect to be meth, cocaine, and fentanyl. Police also found $2,715 in cash, “break and enter” tools, bear mace, and ammunition.
31-year-old Jamie Lynn Day was charged with nine offences including numerous drug possession and trafficking charges, weapons charges, and four counts of failure to comply with a Release Order.
Day has since been released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Alberta Court of Justice in Mayerthorpe on January 25th, 2024.
