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.

At the time of the woman’s death, OPP charged 39-year-old Richard Johnston of Belleville with possession of fentanyl and crystal meth for the purpose of trafficking.

MacDonald is scheduled to appear at a Belleville court on Dec. 17.
