On Thursday February 10, 2022 at 9:25 p.m., Bracebridge Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers were conducting speed enforcement on Highway 11 North in Gravenhurst, ON and conducted a traffic stop involving a vehicle that had been travelling well over the posted speed limit.

Officers engaged with the driver and quickly established that he was on criminal conditions and not allowed out of his residence. After exiting the vehicle, the driver became confrontational and fought with the officers. As officers were gaining control of the driver, the passenger- who it was established was also on criminal restrictions- fled the scene on foot. The OPP Canine Unit along with Emergency Response Team (ERT) and support from Rama Police attended and conducted a land search. He was located just before 12:30 a.m. in a commercial area alongside Highway 11 and taken into custody. Officers seized a sizeable quantity of cocaine, fentanyl, and a large sum of Canadian currency along with a loaded restricted firearm.

Police have charged 23 year-old Ja Quwan GREAVES of York, ON with the following:

·        Possession of Schedule I Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking (3 counts- Cocaine, Fentanyl, Heroin) CDSA 5(2)

·        Resist Peace Officer CC 129(a)

·        Failure to Comply with Release Order CC 145(5)(a) X 5

·        Possession of Property Obtained by Crime CC 354(1)(a)

·        Possession of Prohibited or Restricted Firearm/Ammunition CC 95(b)

·        Possession of Loaded Prohibited or Restricted Firearm CC 95(a)

·        Possession of Prohibited Device for a Dangerous Purpose CC 88

·        Knowledge of Unauthorized Possession of Firearm CC 92(1)
