A North Bay man has been charged by Timmins police after they received a call regarding a suspicious person in the downtown area yesterday evening.
When asked for identification, the officers were provided a false name.
Further investigation revealed the true identity of the individual, and that he was bound by a recognizance of bail with several conditions which police say were being breached.
He was also bound by a probation order with conditions to keep the peace and be of good behaviour. The man was placed under arrest and taken to the Timmins Police station.
While conducting a routine search, police found a quantity of controlled substances in his possession.
Tristan Stephen, 20 of North Bay, faces charges including:
- identity fraud,
- possession of a schedule I substance,
- breach of recognizance (x3),
- and breach of probation (x2).
Stephen was held in custody pending a bail hearing set for today.
