Police say they executed a search warrant at a Curtis Crescent home on June 26 and found over $42,000 worth of purple fentanyl.

The home belonged to 33-year-old Nicole Fowler, who was the subject of a Kingston fentanyl trafficking investigation.

Along with the large amount of drugs seized, police confiscated $2,000 in cash from the home and a journal containing names and details of an ongoing drug trafficking operation.

At that same home, police say they found Timothy Donovan, who has been on the run from police since May 28.

When police asked him to get out of the vehicle, which police say contained pepper spray, fentanyl, cocaine and a large amount of cash, Donovan reportedly ran from police.
