Cops release details about drug arrest
Fredericton Police Force says when officers arrested Tatiana Marie Martin, 25, on outstanding warrants two weeks ago, it led to discovery of stash of illicit narcotics
When officers moved to execute warrants of arrest for a Fredericton woman on outstanding theft and driving charges, it led to an accident drug-trafficking bust, police say.
The Fredericton Police Force issued a news release Wednesday detailing the circumstances that gave rise to the arrest of Tatiana Marie Martin late last month.
As the Fredericton Independent reported previously, Martin, 25, of Union Street in Fredericton, was remanded last week on several counts of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.
Wednesday’s release provides background on the circumstances police allege give rise to those charges.
“On March 30, 2024, Fredericton Police Force Patrol members attended a location in the Lincoln area to locate a female wanted for outstanding warrants of arrest,” the release said.
“During the arrest, the officer observed drugs and drug paraphernalia dispersed throughout the location. Patrol members then arrested both individuals present for possession for the purpose of trafficking.”
