WINDSOR, ONT. -- Windsor police say a suspect attempted to flee before being arrested on multiple drug-related charges including possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking.
The Windsor Police Service Drugs and Guns (DIGS) unit launched the investigation in May and identified an adult male suspect and involved residents.
Investigators then applied for and received judicial authorization to search the suspect home in the 500 block of Moy Avenue.
Around 1 p.m. Thursday, police from the Emergency Services Unit were prepared to execute the warrant when the suspect fled in an attempt to evade arrest.

During the search, officers found illicit drugs and ammunition.
A 47-year-old Windsor man is now facing the following charges:
- Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking - three counts (yellow fentanyl, green fentanyl, blue fentanyl)
- Possession of a Controlled Substance (crystal methamphetamine)
- Possession of ammunition while prohibited - five counts
- Fail to Comply with Release Order
