Two local men have been charged by Kingston Police after officers seized approximately $65,000 in cocaine on Thursday morning.
A lengthy investigation led drug enforcement unit officers to an address on John Street at approximately 11 a.m. Officers arrested two men who were parked in a vehicle nearby. The driver and passenger were both taken into custody.
During a search of the 23-year-old passenger's Pokemon Pokeball backpack, officers found two large circular pressed and vacuum-sealed bags containing suspected cocaine.
During the arrest officer also found a smaller quantity of cocaine, numerous micro-bags, two cell phones and an apparent debt-list – all indicators of drug trafficking, says a news release.
The 23-year-old has been charged by police with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and breach of undertaking. He was held over night to attend a bail hearing on Friday.
The 27-year-old driver was jointly charged by police with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, but released on a promise to appear in court at a future date.

Pokemon Go player has leg amputated after falling onto electrified tracks

Playing Pokemon Go is apparently dangerous. A British man lost his leg while playing the game.
Call it the perils of Pikachu.
A British man obsessed with Pokemon Go was so focused on the, er game, that he fell onto electrified railway tracks.
The result was that the man’s right leg had to be amputated because of the severity of his injuries. He also suffered third and fourth-degree burns.
He had been looking at his phone when the accident occurred.
His legs, chest, arm and jaw were all affected and the man needed numerous operations to recover.
The incident has prompted a doctor to warn about the increasing amount of people he’s seeing in emergency rooms who were injured — or killed — while looking at their phones.
The man was not identified.
YUCK! Doctors release photos of the man’s injuries. He hurt himself while playing Pokemon Go and fell onto electrified rail tracks.
The gamer was taken into the operating room where doctors had to cut off the burned skin and muscle.
He then returned to surgery two days later to have more flesh removed, along with his kneecap, which had started to rot.
The decision was made by doctors to amputate his right leg above the knee, leaving him with a “significant disability.”
“Media coverage has reported on safety incidents involving Pokemon Go, including people becoming stranded, risky behaviour at the sites of known minefields and the unfortunate death of a teenager,” said Dr. Kai Yuen Wong, who wrote about the case.
“Limb salvage was not possible in this patient. And therefore, in addition to his acute care, the disease burden will include the long-term costs associated with an above-knee amputation in a young man.”
A study estimated Pokemon Go was responsible for 150,000 traffic accidents and 256 deaths in the first 148 days after the game’s release.
