Repeat Offender

May 1, 2020 | 5:00 PM

Three people are facing charges after drugs, weapons, and cell phones were seized at a residence in Olds this week.

On Apr. 30, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Olds RCMP executed a search warrant on a residence located near 51 Street and 61 Avenue in Olds.

Mounties say members received information of possible drug dealing at the residence and further investigation led to the authorization of the warrant.

Two males and one female were arrested at the location. Among the items seized were several cell phones, weapons, and a variety of suspected drugs including what is believed to be methamphetamine.

Police say a 32-year-old female and a 39-year-old male, both from Olds, were charged with having possession of a controlled substance. They were released on their own undertaking to attend Didsbury Provincial Court on Oct. 5.

Charles Benson Schmidt, 45, of Olds, has also been charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance and three counts of failing to abide by his previous release order conditions.

Schmidt was held in custody for a judicial hearing and later released on a $1,000 no cash deposit to appear in Didsbury Provincial Court on Jul. 13.

RCMP note Schmidt had previously been charged with several offences as a result of a search warrant executed by Olds RCMP at the same residence on Feb. 13. On that matter, Mounties say Schmidt is still facing 17 charges, including being in possession of controlled substances, weapons and stolen property.

RCMP are continuing their investigation into this incident and are asking the public to come forward with any information related to these incidents.
