Assault leads to drug investigation

An assault investigation in St. Catharines has ended in a drug bust.

Police were called in yesterday to investigate an alleged assault on a woman that happened Sunday.

Police quickly identified a suspect who they say was also believed to be trafficking in cocaine.

Officers set up a surveillance around the suspect and watched as he made several alleged drug deals.

Cops moved in and found the man to be in possession of crack cocaine.

A search of his home turned up more drugs, worth a total of $58 thousand.
