A curfew check led to a drug bust in Sherwood Park.
On Aug. 6 at around 1:34 a.m., police visited a home near Township Road 515 and Range Road 232 in Sherwood Park to conduct a curfew check on Craig Coffey.
According to police, Coffey was not home at the time and was breaching curfew conditions related to previous stolen property charges from June.

Later that day, police came back to the home with a search warrant where they located and seized what is believed to be 266.5 grams of fentanyl, three litres of GHB, 26 pouches of resin, a stolen 2013 Lincoln MKX, and a taser.
The Forty-six-year-old from Sherwood Park has been charged with:
- Possession for the purpose of trafficking (x3)
- Possession of a controlled substance
- Obstruction
- Fail to comply (x2)
Coffey has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Sherwood Park Provincial Court on Aug. 24.
