Woman arrested in local drug busts expected back in court

A suspect charged in relation to a pair of drug busts in Port Hawkesbury is scheduled to return to court Friday.

RCMP say they searched a home in the town, and seized oxycodone, marijuana, and other drug paraphernalia in July 2017.

Darlene Bowen, 54, of Embree Island has been charged with possession of oxycodone and possession for the purpose of trafficking; a man, 54, arrested in the bust was not charged.

Police say members of the Inverness/Richmond RCMP Street Crime Enforcement Unit made arrests in an opioid trafficking investigation in the Port Hawkesbury area in August.

Bowen faces a count of trafficking oxycodone in that case.

She’s expected to return to Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Port Hawkesbury for both cases.
