An area pharmacist is facing drug trafficking charges after a Leamington OPP investigation.
The OPP arrested a 74-year-old pharmacist from Lakeshore and a 48-year-old Leamington man on Talbot St. E in Leamington on Saturday.
The pharmacist is facing two drug trafficking charges in relation to the illegal sale of narcotics.
“The illegal sale, distribution and unlawful use of drugs remain prevalent in our communities, as does the vigilance by our members of this unlawful activity. This recent arrest further underscores the gravity of the situation and the challenges we face in keeping our communities safe. We will hold those accountable who continue to supply those elements of society with illicit drugs and equally, those users who feed their addictions through criminal acts," says Glenn Miller, detachment commander for the Essex County OPP, in a news release.
The investigation is ongoing.
