A 35-year-old woman is facing numerous drug-related charges after being arrested by Steinbach RCMP this past Labour Day weekend.

On September 4, 2017 at 3:05am, Steinbach RCMP were dispatched to a report of suspicious persons located on Main Street in Steinbach. Police attended and later arrested one 35-year-old woman with a warrant from Winnipeg. Initially the woman provided a false name, but was visually identified by police and her true identity confirmed.

During the course of the arrest, officers observed that in the woman’s possession was a purse containing several dime bags that contained illegal drugs. A search resulted in the discovery of 3.49 grams of methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana, a small amount of Canadian currency and a palm-scale.

RCMP report that Tammy Renz is facing numerous charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking. Renz has been remanded into police custody.
