The CFSEU-BC investigation into alleged drug trafficking in B.C.’s Peace Region has resulted in a fifth individual being arrested, this time at a traffic stop in the town of 150 Mile House, British Columbia.

On September 30th, 2016, 100 Mile House RCMP conducted a traffic stop with a vehicle in the town of 150 Mile, B.C.

The Williams Lake RCMP attended the traffic stop and positively identified the individual as Arin Charleyboy, who was subsequently arrested.
