Police seize drugs, fake handguns during arrest

Windsor Police seized almost $4,000 in illegal drugs and a couple of imitation handguns while arresting a suspect on Friday night.

Members of the Windsor Police Drugs and Guns Enforcement Unit, along with help from Emergency Services personnel, arrested a 36-year-old man in an investigation into drug trafficking.

Officers approached the suspect as he walked his dog around 6:30 p.m. near Glengarry Avenue and Wyandotte Street East.

The man fled, but officers caught up with him with the help of Windsor Police K9 officer Timber.

There was a struggle, and the suspect's dog bit Timber, who suffered minor injuries.

During the arrest, officers seized 56.2 grams of fentanyl and 11.8 grams of crystal methamphetamine.

The imitation handguns were seized during a search of an apartment in the 400 block of Glengarry Avenue, along with 193.9 grams of an unknown white powder.

The powder is currently being tested at a lab.

A 36-year-old man faces two counts of possession of a Schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking.
