Three adults from Medicine Hat are facing an array of charges after police uncovered weapons, drugs and cash during an early morning traffic stop on Nov. 25.

At approximately 4:10 a.m., police pulled over the vehicle the adults were travelling in on account of a moving infraction. The trio then attempted to flee on foot but were detained by police.

While conducting a search of the vehicle, police discovered two swords, a hatchet, a taser, 59.34 grams of fentanyl with an approximate value of $11,800, 227 grams of methamphetamine with an approximated value of $13,620 and $1,600 cash.

They also discovered the driver has a suspended licence and was in violation of pre-trial release conditions.

As a result, 40-year old Jason Godfrey of Medicine Hat is charged with obstructing a peace officer, possession of proceeds of crime, possession of a dangerous weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon;, two counts of possession of an illicit substance for the purpose of trafficking, failure to comply with a probation order and two counts of breach of peace bond. Godfrey will remain in police custody until his scheduled court date.

Additionally, 37-year old Natasha Morgan and 29-year old Allissa Felkse – both of Medicine Hat – are each facing charges of obstructing a peace officer, possession of a dangerous weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon and two counts of possession of an illicit substance for the purpose of trafficking. Both Morgan and Felkse were released from police custody.
