A woman who was pulled over for Highway Traffic Act offences did not go quietly into the night and is now facing a slew of drug-related charges and resisting arrest.
Orillia OPP officers stopped a vehicle just before 10 p.m. Saturday night near the intersection of Fittons Road and Peter Street, notes a media release from the Orillia OPP.
Police soon discovered she was breaching several release conditions.
"Upon further investigation, a search of the vehicle was conducted and a substantial amount of suspected drugs and trafficking paraphernalia were located and seized," noted the media release.
