Guelph police say a 35-year-old man is facing drug trafficking charges after officers patrolling the downtown core found him with red fentanyl, cocaine and other narcotics.
In a news release on Friday, police said officers on bike patrol spotted a man sitting on a barrier in a parking lot and “processing” a large number of drugs on the ground.
“Police attempted to arrest the male, however he resisted and during the struggle, the male threw a cup of fentanyl across the parking lot scattering its contents on the ground,” police said.
