Police were on to the St. Catharines man after he broke his previous release order

- 587.3 grams of Psilocybin with an estimated street value of $5873
- 1.8 grams of Crystal Methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $180
- $710 in Canadian Currency
Police say Joshua Scholtens is charged with:
Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Cocaine X 2
- Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Crystal Methamphetamine
- Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Psilocybin
- Possession of Proceeds of Crime Under $5000
- Failing to Comply with Release Order X 2
He had a bail hearing today.
