A 46-year-old Deer Lake man is facing a drug charge after Deer Lake RCMP searched a residence Thursday.

Authorized by a warrant to search property obtained under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the police entered the Middle Road residence and conducted a search. Inside the home, the man was arrested and officers found a quantity of cocaine, pills and other evidence consistent with drug dealing.

The man is due in court next month and will face a charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The investigation continues.
