Medicine Hat… ALERT‘s Medicine Hat Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU), an integrated team of Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS) and RCMP members, charged one man following an investigation into the trafficking of cocaine.
On April 30, CFSEU, along with members of MHPS, concluded a drug trafficking investigation with the arrest of a 26-year-old Medicine Hat resident. Grant Otterson was taken into custody during a vehicle stop on the Trans-Canada Highway near 3rd Street.
