GODERICH- Two Goderich men face criminal charges following a traffic stop in that town today.
Just after 10 a.m., officers stopped a brown Pontiac Bonneville that was travelling on Walnut Street. Upon stopping the vehicle and speaking with the two occupants, officers were able to confirm the driver was a suspended driver.
Further investigation revealed both the driver and passenger to be in possession of a small quantity of illegal drugs that were located inside the vehicle.
In addition, officers determined the driver had falsely identified himself to police when he was stopped on February 18, 2013 in the Town of Goderich. Officers were able to confirm the name given at that time was bogus.
As a result, the driver, 26, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, obstructing a peace officer, and two counts of driving while suspended. He has a court date scheduled for the Ontario Court of Justice - Goderich on April 22, 2013.
The passenger, 24, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, breach of probation and failure to comply with recognizance. He has a court date scheduled for the Ontario Court of Justice - Goderich on April 22, 2013.
