A new development in the case of a Winnipeg man charged in connection with a drug bust in the R.M. of Dauphin.

In March of 2021, Mounties pulled over a vehicle on Highway 5, about ten kilometres west of Ochre River, and after the driver refused to give a breath sample, he was arrested.

A search of the vehicle led to the seizure of a large variety of cannabis products, about 195 grams of cocaine, cash, and an open bottle of liquor.

33-year-old Jory Rowe appeared in Winnipeg Provincial Court Tuesday, where he pleaded guilty to Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking, and received 18 months probation, a ten-year weapon ban, a DNA order, and he must forfeit the seized items.
