33-year-old Elliot Lake man was found passed out in a vehicle with 16.5 grams of fentanyl; judge found him not guilty of trafficking, calling his explanation 'plausible'
An Elliot Lake man who was passed out in a vehicle with 16.5 grams of fentanyl has been found not guilty of drug trafficking after a judge concluded his explanation was “plausible.”
Gareau dismissed a charge of possession of property obtained by crime — $448 in cash he had when police arrested him. The cash was the balance of his CERB cheque, he told Gareau, explaining he used the scale to weigh the fentanyl so he wouldn't overdose. During the trial, the court heard Ontario Provincial Police were called to the Elliot Lake beach about an unresponsive man in a vehicle. When officers arrived, paramedics were assisting Willett.
He acknowledged, as did the other officers, that Willett was known as "a local drug addict," but not on the radar as a trafficker.
