The Grande Prairie Crime Reduction Unit made two arrests last week following a traffic stop in the city.
According to police, on April 7th, members of the Grande Prairie detachment received a complaint of a suspicious person and vehicle. Officers responded, approaching the vehicle before it fled the scene at a high rate of speed.
Three days later on April 10th, a Grande Prairie RCMP Police Dog Services member observed the vehicle and advised the Crime Reduction Unit of their findings.
The CRU managed to locate the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop- leading to the arrests of two, and the seizure of 125 grams of methamphetamines, 30 grams of fentanyl, and more than $2,000 in cash.
Now, 45-year-old Grande Prairie resident Timothy Kelly faces charges related to alleged possession of drugs, proceeds of crime, and weapons while prohibited, obstructing a police officer, dangerous driving, and several others. The second individual- 30-year-old Grande Prairie resident Jasmine Potter was charged with two counts of alleged possession for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime.
Both were brought before a justice of the peace. Potter was released on conditions; however, Kelly remains in police custody. Both are scheduled to appear in the Alberta Court of Justice on April 14th.
