Valleyview, Alta. – On Jan. 25, 2024, members of the Western Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit (WAD CRU), with the assistance of the Valleyview RCMP, executed a search warrant at a residence in Valleyview.
As a result of the search warrant, multiple items we seized, including:
- Over 780 grams of methamphetamine;
- Over 180 grams of cocaine;
- $4800 in Canadian currency;
- 1 prohibited firearm;
- 2 prohibited weapons;
- Multiple edged weapons; and
- Ammunition.
As a result of the investigation, Brandon Lee Munro (34), Jordana Goodswimmer (24), Mitchell Trottier (21), and Gail Isadore (20), all residents of Valleyview, were charged with a combined total of 57 offences, including:
- Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking;
- Possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking; and
- Several firearms and weapons offences.
All four were brought before a justice of the peace. Munro was remanded into custody, while Goodswimmer, Trottier and Isadore were released on conditions. They are all scheduled to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Valleyview on Feb. 15, 2024.
‘‘WAD CRU began the investigation earlier this month and those accused are believed to be responsible for a significant volume of drug trafficking within Valleyview and the neighbouring Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation’’ said Sgt Chris Power. “Our District Crime Reduction Unit continues to support local detachments by providing specialized policing services, targeting drug trafficking and property crime, both of which have significant impacts on the residents of the communities we serve. We encourage anyone with information regarding these crimes to report it to your local detachment or anonymously through Crimestoppers”.
