CALGARY – Police have laid drug-trafficking charges after a man allegedly handed out business cards with free samples of cocaine in Calgary.
Officers patrolling a downtown casino became aware of the cards on Christmas Eve after they were given out to patrons.
Police say the cards bore a name that the accused used as an alias, and small baggies with samples of suspected cocaine were attached.
Investigators began an investigation in January.
Last weekend, officers searched a vehicle and recovered almost 60 grams of cocaine individually portioned in more than 50 baggies, a digital scale, cash and business cards.
A 30-year-old man is charged with two counts of trafficking a controlled substance, one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking and three counts of possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000.
