Male Breaching Probation and Possessing Drugs Gives False Name of “Smith” in Attempt to Fool Police

16-36510

A 23-year-old local man who knew he was breaching curfew and drug conditions while on probation quickly came up with a false identity that included a common surname of “Smith” in an unsuccessful attempt to fool the Kingston Police uniform patrol officer who stopped him.

At approximately 1:30 a.m. on November 30, 2016, the patrol officer was in his cruiser when he observed a male on a bicycle fail to stop at the four-way stop intersection at Patrick Street and Russell Street.

The man was stopped and verbally identified himself with a name and date of birth that the officer instantly became suspicious of, in addition to the male appearing nervous. After further questioning the man confirmed his true identity and that he was breaching his probation order by not abiding by a set curfew.

The man was consequently arrested and during a search multiple small bag of suspected cocaine were located, packaged to be sold rather than for personal use. A smaller individual quantity of suspected crystal methamphetamine was also found on the accused.

The man was transported to police headquarters to attend a bail hearing later in the day. He is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, simple possession of a controlled substance, obstruct police and four counts of breach of probation.
