Joint investigation with RCMP leads to seizure of drugs, charges against Blood Tribe woman
A Blood Tribe woman faces criminal charges after a joint investigation between the RCMP and Blood Tribe police led to the seizure of drugs.
On Thursday, the Blood Tribe Police Service drug task force and RCMP conducted a traffic stop on Highway 2 near Aldersyde, taking five people into custody.
A search revealed 66 grams of suspected fentanyl with an estimated street value of $26,400, 33 grams of suspected methamphetamine with a street value of $6,600, and $110 in cash.
Katie Natasha Eagle Speaker, 34, of the Blood Tribe, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Eagle Speaker was suspected of supplying fentanyl to the Blood Tribe community for some time now, which led to the investigation in an effort to reduce the number of fatal overdoses related to fentanyl.
