A Beaverlodge woman has been charged after police allegedly seized drugs, and a weapon from a vehicle following search earlier this month.
According to the RCMP, members of the Grande Prairie Crime Reduction Team were on patrol when they noticed a truck that was parked in two parking stalls, including a disability parking spot. As a result, the team initiated a traffic stop which led to officers observing what they believed to be a controlled substance.
Throughout the investigation, officers reported finding 544 grams of methamphetamine, 25 grams of cocaine, and various items “consistent with drug trafficking and weapons,” including a stun gun.
Upon the conclusion of their search, the Grande Prairie RCMP charged 32-year-old Beaverlodge local Callie Evenson with a litany of charges including alleged possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine and cocaine, unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and two counts of failure to comply with release order conditions.
Evenson was brought before a Justice of the Peace and remains in custody with a scheduled court appearance on August 26th at the Alberta Court of Justice in Grande Prairie.
