A 44-year-old man was arrested and charged this week as part of an RCMP investigation into alleged sexual assault and drug trafficking in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
RCMP were notified on Monday evening by someone who alleged they had been drugged and sexually assaulted.
The following day, police obtained search warrants for a home on Saunders Street in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and Darryl Dyson and a number of others were arrested.
Seized from the home were about 10 ounces of cocaine, brass knuckles, drug paraphernalia and more than $47,000 in cash.
RCMP say Dyson, who is being held in custody, is facing one count each of sexual assault, trafficking in cocaine, and possession of property obtained by crime over $5000.
The others arrested in Tuesday’s search have been released without charge. Police say further charges against Dyson and others are possible as the investigation continues.
