Three charged after Dennery Operation searches
During a search of a residence at Aux Lyons, officers discovered a quantity of suspected cannabis resin. Authorities arrested 37-year-old Giselle James, who was charged with Possession of Controlled Drugs and Possession of Controlled Drugs with Intent to Supply.
In a separate search at Green Mountain, Dennery, officers recovered five rounds of .380 ammunition. Two individuals, 21-year-old Denis Bertrand and 24-year-old Akyma Flavien, were arrested and later charged with Possession of Ammunition.
