Henry Baptiste released from custody

Henry Joseph Baptiste, born 1972 of Oliver charged with Possession  of a controlled substance for the Purpose of Trafficking. Baptiste has now been released by the provincial court and will appear again May 15th.

A Vancouver lawyer represented him in court Monday in Penticton.

Members of the Regional GIS, Oliver RCMP and Penticton Police Dog Service executed a Controlled Drugs & Substances Act search warrant at one residence located on OIB land last Thursday.

The two adult males were arrested at the residence and a search resulted in the location and seizure of various drug related items including: 21.26 grams of methamphetamine (suspected); cash; an airsoft rifle that closely resembled a real firearm; and ammunition for a .308 Winchester rifle.
