Responding to a complaint about a suspected impaired driver on Front Street in Sturgeon Falls shortly before 5 a.m. May 4, police pulled a 24-year-old woman over.

The driver and a 28-year-old passenger are both charged with having an imitation weapon for a dangerous purpose, having a Schedule I substance and a Schedule II substance for the purpose of trafficking.
