The Nova Scotia RCMP says it has arrested a man involved in illegal cannabis distribution in the Fall River area.
An officer with the force’s Southeast Traffic Services unit saw a Chevrolet Cruze travelling 128 km/h in a 100 km/h zone of Highway 118 on Saturday.
The officer then pulled the car over.
Police say the officer saw a package containing cannabis within reach of the driver and smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.
The 37-year-old driver from Halifax was then arrested.
Police say they also found six pounds of fresh cannabis, cannabis edibles, liquid cannabis, shatter, cash and a cell phone in the man’s car.
He was later released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court on May 20 to face a charge of possession of cannabis for the purpose of selling.
