A traffic stop of a known driver without a license turned into a much larger incident for the Dauphin RCMP on Friday.

Around 4:20 pm, Mounties pulled over a vehicle on 6th Avenue SW, knowing that the driver did not possess a license, and was ordered not to be in Dauphin. 

A search of the driver found drug paraphernalia, which led to a further search of the vehicle.

That turned up 22 grams of meth as well as other drugs, drug paraphernalia and some Canadian cash.

31-year-old Shannon Gauthier of Camperville and her passenger, 44-year-old Sean Bouchie of Dauphin, each face three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, and one count each of possession of proceeds of crime.  

Gauthier also faces several driving prohibition and failing to comply charges.
