Early Morning Drug bust on the By-Pass

A 28 year old Fort Frances woman has been arrested after being pulled

over on the Kenora By-pass.

Acting on a tip, the officers stopped the vehicle shortly after 3:00 this

morning and discovered about 50 oxycodone pills, with a street value

of about 54 hundred dollars.

Police say the pills were bound for the Big Grassy First Nation and Fort Frances.

Lindsay Copenace has been charged with possession of a narcotic for the

purpose of trafficking.

She's due to appear in Kenora Court on February 28th to answer the charge.
