Female Charged with Fentanyl Drug Offences

At approximately 11:45 pm on February 16th, while on routine patrol, Officers came across a vehicle on Belvedere Avenue that appeared to have mechanical issues and was blocking one lane of traffic.  As the Officers got closer to the vehicle, two persons fled on foot and two others remained by the vehicle.

Another responding Officer was able to catch up with the male and female that had fled the area.  The Officer recognized the female from previous interactions and knew that she had an active arrest warrant and was arrested.  During the arrest, Police located over 16 grams of Fentanyl.

As a result of this investigation, 27 year old Danielle Hobb has been charged with CDSA 5(2) Possession of Fentanyl for the Purpose of Trafficking.

Earlier this month, on February 3rd, the Charlottetown Police Services Street Crime Unit charged Hobb with 3 counts of CDSA 5(1) trafficking Fentanyl, Crystal Methamphetamine and Cocaine.  At that time, she was released from custody with conditions.

On February 17th, the accused appeared in Provincial Court for a remand hearing and was remanded in custody until her next court appearance on February 24, 2025 at 1:00pm.
