Vernon, B.C., woman’s phone dials up arrest and drug charges
VERNON, B.C. – Some arrests take diligent police work and hours of painstaking investigation, but an RCMP officer in Vernon, B.C., is boasting about a collar that was practically phoned in.
The Mountie was watching as a 48-year-old woman walked into the detachment in the North Okanagan city to pick up some paperwork related to a prior drug charge.
A closer look determined she was carrying a cellphone in her back pocket, which is a breach of her court-ordered conditions.
Not surprisingly, she was arrested.
That’s when a further search turned up five pre-packed bags of cocaine.
The confiscated phone rang several times as customers tried to place orders for the drugs, but there’s no word if officers were taking messages. (CKIZ)
