A second Belleville man is facing drug-related charges following an opioid-related death on Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory last year.
Last June, OPP were called to a home on the territory after a 28-year-old woman died of an overdose.
Over a year later, in late October, OPP charged a 56-year-old Belleville man, Rorrie John MacDonald, with trafficking cocaine and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
