Police bust alleged drug dealers, lay 38 drug-related charges

Windsor police have taken two alleged drug dealers off the streets.

Police said the pair was busted during a traffic stop Tuesday evening after an investigation into illegal drug trafficking in Windsor by the Drugs and Guns (DIGS) Unit.

"Officers observed the two suspects, in a black Chevrolet Silverado, conduct activity consistent with drug trafficking," police said.

The pickup truck was stopped on Edinborough Street near Howard Avenue and both suspects were arrested without incident. Methamphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy, oxycodone, dilaudid, codeine, hydromorphone, and morphine were seized during a search of the vehicle.

Deanna Chadwick, 38, of Windsor is charged with 18 counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and two counts of breaking court orders.

Craig Reid, 34, of Windsor is charged with 18 counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

"As a result of this DIGS investigation, a single motor vehicle stop resulted in 38 drug-related charges, and a vast array of illicit drugs removed from our streets," added police. "These drugs were intended to be sold in our community - potentially putting lives at risk, and exploiting those that may be suffering from addiction."
