64 yr. old Patrick Michael Andrews charged
On Wednesday, August 24, 2016, at approximately 2:48 PM an RCMP officer
observed a male conduct a hand-to-hand drug transaction with the occupants of a
vehicle in the 2300 block of Highland Blvd. The suspect was arrested and
searched after trying to discard of the drugs. The search revealed a quantity of
Canadian currency as well as a small white plastic container containing green
tablets, which resemble oxycodone. A number of similar seizures in Nanaimo,
this past year have revealed that the oxycodone, once analysed, is in fact
the potentially lethal substance of fentanyl. The pills have been forwarded to
the RCMP forensic lab to be analysed.
Charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking in a controlled
substance have been laid against 64-year-old Patrick Michael Andrews, of
Nanaimo BC. Mr. Andrews appeared in the Nanaimo Provincial Court on Thursday,
August 25 and has been remanded in custody until September 6th.
