Speeder caught with $58,000 of drugs
Another traffic stop leads to another drug bust.
When Nipissing West OPP pulled over a speeder on highway 17 on Wednesday they also charged the driver with drug-related offences.
A news release by the OPP state that a search of the vehicle located cellular phones, a digital scale and drugs suspected to be cocaine and crack cocaine, with an estimated street value of more than $58,000.
Eric Squarzolo, 27, of Sudbury was charged with possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking.
This appears to be the accused second drug-related incident. In 2022, Squarzolo was convicted of drug possession charges and given a 15 day jail sentence after a search of his residence found cocaine.

Woohoo ... caught again. Didn't he learn the first time. I hope he gets double the sentence and license revoked for life. Kudos to the OPP for getting that crap off of our streets. Thanks Rejean for reporting this.
Great job. if only we had laws that would be a deterrent. 15 days is a joke.
