Brussels Methamphetamine Bust

(HURON EAST, ON) – Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has laid charges against a driver and two passengers following a traffic stop that took place in Brussels earlier this week.

On June 27, 2021 at approximately 4:48 p.m. a Huron County OPP officer stopped a two-door car on Turnberry Street in Brussels. Upon stopping the vehicle police determined one of the passengers was wanted for offences from South Bruce OPP. As such he was placed under arrest and taken into custody. Upon searching the accused he was found in possession of suspected methamphetamine.

Richard HOWALD, 61 years of age from Lucknow has been charged with Possession of a Schedule I Substance – Methamphetamine. He was later released from custody with a court appearance scheduled for August 29, 2021 at the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich.

The subsequent investigation revealed a female passenger in the vehicle was on conditions to have no contact with the other passenger in the vehicle. The female passenger also obstructed police as she falsely identified herself numerous times. Further, when she was taken into custody she was found to be in possession of suspected crack cocaine.

Jodi SIMPSON, 45 years of age from Townsend has been charged with Possession of a Schedule I Substance – Cocaine, Obstruct Peace Officer and Fail to Comply with Release Order – Seven Counts. The accused remains in custody with a court appearance scheduled for June 30, 2021 at the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich.
