A 61-year-old Kingsville man faces drug trafficking charges after the Ontario Provincial Police searched a home on Sunset Avenue last Thursday.

The total haul is worth just under $9,000.

The suspect faces four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and a charge of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The accused has been released from police custody but will make an appearance in the Ontario Court of Justice on March 31.
