The sources differ on the cannabis charge: the OPP release and GuelphToday say possession of cannabis for the purpose of selling, while CTV Kitchener says possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
No weight or value was published for the cocaine, and none of it is counted as cannabis.
The accounts give slightly different times: the OPP release about 10:45 p.m., CityNews just before 11 p.m.
