Charges Stayed Against Two People Arrested on Illegal Tobacco Charges Near Moosomin

Two Calgary residents charged in connection with the seizure of tobacco, drugs and cash near Moosomin, are off the hook.

Last December, an RCMP officer pulled over a vehicle heading west on the Number One Highway.

The officer determined the occupants of the vehicle may have been in possession of a controlled substance, and upon spotting unstamped tobacco, a search of the vehicle also turned up one ounce of cocaine and a large bundle of Canadian cash.

Charges against 37-year-old Kattie Hagan and 45-year-old Elroy Brooks were stayed by the Crown Prosecutor.
