Area Man Faces Trafficking Charges

A man from Couchiching First Nation is facing numerous drug charges.

The 28-year-old was arrested last Thursday after officers with the OPP's Fort Frances Community Drug Action Team noticed a man retrieving a package containing 230 tablets of hydromorphone from a postal  box.

Value of the drugs is estimated at 20-thousand dollars.

The man will appear in Fort Frances court Friday.
