Two people have been arrested and charged after Kingston police officers found drugs and replica firearm after a traffic stop on Feb. 4.
On Feb. 4 members of the Kingston Police Street Crime Unit conducted a traffic stop in the area of the 300 block of Bagot Street in downtown Kingston.
Upon investigation of the two occupants, police located a replica firearm resulting in the arrest of two individuals banned from weapons possession due to a previous court ordered weapons prohibition.
Police also found 298 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 5.2 grams of fentanyl and a large sum of Canadian currency.
Both accused individuals were subsequently transported to police headquarters where they were held to attend a bail hearing the following day.
Joshua Burtch, 36, from Kingston and Leslie Brown, 33, with no fixed address, were charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime, and breach of probation/weapons prohibition.
