A 33-year-old North Bay woman was charged with drug trafficking in Sturgeon Falls after police received a report that she was in a gas station for more than an hour. At around 4:50 a.m., Nov. 4, police responded to a report of an unwanted person at a gas station on Front Street in Sturgeon Falls. Officers were told she had been in the washroom for over an hour and was not responding, police said in a news release Thursday. “Officers requested medical assistance and the individual was transported to hospital for medical attention,” police said. “During the investigation, officers seized suspected fentanyl, along with drug-related paraphernalia.” The suspected fentanyl has an estimated street value of more than $14,000. The woman was charged with trafficking and is scheduled to appear in court in North Bay on Feb. 4. Police ask anyone who suspects a person experiencing an overdose to call 911 immediately.
