Yellowknife RCMP have charged one person following an investigation into impaired driving.
At approximately 6:30 pm on November 3, police received a report that an impaired driver had been seen near 54th Avenue.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers reportedly observed unstamped tobacco in plain view and arrested the two occupants.
A subsequent search revealed 50 grams of suspected crack cocaine packaged for sale, multiple cell phones, and over $2,000 in cash.
One of the occupants, who was subject to release conditions during the time of their arrest due to a prior arrest for drug offences in Yellowknife, was arrested and charged. The other occupant was released on the scene without charge.
The suspect was remanded into custody and later released under numerous conditions, notably the requirement that they not be within the Northwest Territories except to appear in Court as and when required.
