In speaking to the male passenger it was determined that he had cocaine in his possession along with a quantity of Cannabis marihuana. Dale ATFIELD, a 32-year-old male from Huntsville was charged with Possession of Schedule 1 Substance – Cocaine, under the Controlled Drug Substances Act and Possession of over 30gm of dried cannabis in a public place, under the Cannabis Act.

    Hi Deborah. The spelling is correct, although archaic. It is the spelling that was used in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), and is the form that the OPP continues to use.
