Pelican Narrows RCMP have charged two people after seizing firearms, illicit drugs and trafficking paraphernalia at a residence in Pelican Narrows.

 

On June 30th, Pelican Narrows RCMP received a report that an individual was being forcibly confined in a residence.

 

Officers attended the residence and determined an adult male had assaulted an individual, who reported non-life-threatening injuries to police. The individual had also been prevented from leaving the residence.

 

Further investigation led to officers seizing two firearms, an imitation firearm, ammunition, approximately 40 grams of crystal methamphetamine, a small amount of fentanyl, cash and trafficking paraphernalia at the residence. An adult male and female were arrested.

 

The male assaulted a police officer, and tried unsuccessfully to escape, during his arrest. The police officer was not seriously injured.

 

As a result of continued investigation, 36-year-old Colin Ballantyne and 32-year-old Alyson Custer, both from Pelican Narrows, are each charged with multiple offenses including:

 

One count possession  for the purpose of trafficking and one count of assault and confinement and one count assaulting a peace officer.
