COP SUSPENDED AFTER POT BUST
A Nipigon provincial police officer has been suspended following the seizure of more than $6,000 worth of marijuana in a bust at a Nipigon-area residence early Friday.
OPP said Thunder Bay detachment drug enforcement section officers executed a search warrant at the home and during the search seized dried marijuana, marijuana plants and hydroponic growing equipment.
The two occupants of the home were arrested and charged in connection with the search and seizure, police said.
Lynn MacKay, 47, and Kenny Byram, 28, are charged with production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
They were released from custody on an undertaking and are to appear in Thunder Bay court on Nov. 5.
Police said MacKay, a 17-year officer, has been suspended from active duty, subject to the Police Services Act.
The OPP Professional Standards Bureau is conducting an internal investigation, “parallel to the criminal investigation,” police said.
