Missing a court date led to drug and other charges for a Guelph man.
Friday evening, shortly after 7 p.m., officers were at a Woolwich Street business on an unrelated matter when they spotted a male known to be wanted for missing a court date last summer on charges including escaping custody and resisting arrest. He was placed under arrest on the outstanding warrant.
During a search officers recovered suspected fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine in unlabelled jars, as well as a digital scale and two cellphones. Officers observed incoming messages on the phones including one seeking to procure fentanyl. Officers also recovered a credit card in someone else’s name.
A 32-year-old Guelph man is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possessing a controlled substance, possession of a stolen credit card, breaching probation and failing to attend court. He was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in court April 19.
