Shannon Brooks, 32 years old of Brighton, Kristina Fox, 48 years old of Quinte West, and Jessie Wahl, 32 years old of Kingston were each charged with two counts of possession of a schedule I substance – Cocaine and one count of possession of a schedule I substance- methamphetamine. Additionally, Wahl was charged with failing to surrender a driver’s license.

All three accused were released on undertakings and are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Belleville in April 2022.
