A Hamilton woman charged with several offences, including drug and weapons charges, has turned herself in to Chatham-Kent police almost 11 months after failing to attend court to answer to those charges.

Chatham-Kent police said the 22-year-old female was arrested and charged on July 30, 2024 following a traffic stop in Chatham after allegedly providing false identification. Police allege she obstructed police and possessed forged documents.

Officers also found a large quantity of cash and a scale inside of the vehicle, said CK police.

Then on August 7, 2024, police conducted a "systematic search" of the vehicle and allege they discovered and seized the following items:

129.73 grams of cocaine with an approximate street value of $12,973

1,986.74 grams of methamphetamine with an approximate street value of $119,204

221.99 grams of fentanyl with an approximate street value of $55,497

$1,870 in Canadian currency

Two digital scales

A prohibited weapon

A gold watch

The suspect was charged in 2024 with several counts of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking and unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, according to CK police.

The total estimated street value of the illegal drugs is approximately $189,544, said police.

According to police, the woman wanted on an arrest warrant for failing to attend court in September turned herself in to police on Monday.
