An 18-year old is facing drug trafficking charges following a traffic stop in Claresholm last weekend.

RCMP say a vehicle was pulled over in that community by an officer last Sunday (Apr. 12) around 5:45 p.m..

A search resulted in the seizure of 30 grams of cocaine, 16 grams of methamphetamine, as well as various drug trafficking items and paraphernalia.

The driver of the vehicle, Jacob Peddle, 18, is now facing two charges of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking.

He’s due to appear in court in Fort Macleod on August 5.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
