A 33-year-old wanted man has been charged after an attempt was made to pull him over in connection with an ongoing drug trafficking investigation.

RCMP were in the process of obtaining a search warrant for a home in Grand Falls-Windsor in the wee hours of December 11th, when a vehicle, allegedly driven by Corey Killam, was spotted on Bond Street.

Police attempted to pull the vehicle over, but it sped away.

The vehicle in question was found abandoned later that morning, and seized.

Officers later surrounded a home on Second Street, and Killam and a 29-year-old woman were arrested without further incident. A search warrant yielded a quantity of drugs, drug paraphernalia and other items.

Killam is charged with flight from police, dangerous driving, drug trafficking, and failing to comply with a release order.

The woman was released to appear in court on a charge of drug trafficking.
