Two people have been charged in relation to a police search that started in Moncton and led to Frosty Hollow, just outside of Sackville, on Tuesday.
James Earl Dewolfe and Samantha Wilbur appeared in court Wednesday and were both charged with possession of illegal drugs for the purpose of trafficking. Dewolfe was also charged with five counts of uttering threats and possession of ammunition contrary to a prohibition order. Wilbur was also charged with breaking and entering. The pair will be back in court Friday for a bail hearing.
Following the arrests on Tuesday, police say they executed search warrants at a business on Dieppe Boulevard and a residence on Route 106, in Frosty Hollow. Police seized quantities of what they believe is methamphetamine, oxycodone, fentanyl, as well as cannabis.
According to a police news release, Wilbur was arrested in Dieppe at about 7am on Tuesday, after reports of her breaking and entering into a residence on Lutz Street in Moncton. Police then learned that a second person involved in the incident was believed to be in the Dorchester area. The release also says that at about 9:30am, police located a 36-year-old man at a residence on Route 106 in Frosty Hollow, and arrested him at about 11:15am.
In the interim, just after 10:30am the New Brunswick RCMP issued alerts on social media indicating they were searching a large area including Wood Point and Jolicure. They also alerted local area schools of the search at about 10:30am, and several schools were put on ‘hold and secure’ mode, until the arrest was made at about 11:15am.
