Guelph police say a suspect in a major fentanyl bust is facing even more charges after he allegedly threatened and then attacked his co-accused.
The two were arrested last summer in connection to one of the biggest fentanyl seizures in the history of Guelph police.
Around 275 grams of fentanyl, valued at $30,000, was found during a traffic stop on Aug. 28.
Two men were both arrested for possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking.

The accused was arrested again on Sunday and is now charged with assault, uttering threats obstructing justice and breach of a release order.
