(CALEDON, ON) – On December 28, 2013 shortly after midnight, officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting a R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) blitz on Airport Road south of Highway 9. The officers interrupted a southbound black Chev Sonic. Upon speaking with the driver, the officers detected a strong odour of marijuana inside the motor vehicle. As the officers looked into the vehicle, they located a quantity of green leafy substance inside a plastic water bottle, believed to be marijuana. As a result, the driver and two other occupants from the vehicle were arrested and detained pending a more thorough search. During the search of the vehicle, officers located more marijuana and drug paraphernalia inside the vehicle.
In conclusion, Dennis Joseph SMITH, 18, of Brampton was arrested and charged with Possession of a Schedule II Substance. The two other occupants were released unconditionally.
He is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on February 10, 2014.
