Two locals arrested on drug charges

After the March 13th arrests of Donald Holloway, Draper Leverson and Emma Washko, Trident continued their investigation.

A Search Warrant was executed when Trident connected additional suspects to the previous arrests.

Trident executed the search warrant at a Sault Ste Marie residence and seized Methamphetamine and Heroin.

ARRESTED:
AMBER MARY WARD a 29 year old Sault Ste Marie resident
1- Possession with intent to Deliver Methamphetamine
2- Possession of Heroin
3- Child Abuse 4th Degree (related to children’s access to narcotics and the living conditions)
4- Warrant arrest

JAMES DANIEL FRANKLIN a 31 year old Sault Ste Marie resident
1- Possession with intent to Deliver Methamphetamine
2- Possession of Heroin

Both suspects were arraigned in the 91st District Court. Both suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

Trident continues to investigate multiple groups trafficking Methamphetamine, Heroin, Cocaine and Fentanyl in and around the EUP.

WARNING: Detectives from Trident have found that many of the narcotics sold in our area have been mixed with Fentanyl. This dramatically increases the probability of a fatal overdose.

If you have any information on this or any other crimes go to the Chippewa Co Sheriff’s APP. There you can leave an anonymous tip, including photos.

Trident was assisted by Sault Ste Marie PD, Sault Tribe PD and the Chippewa Co Sheriff’s Office.
