Two women have been charged in an investigation by the Blood Tribe Police Service which netted over $60,000 in street value of Oxy 80s and crack cocaine along with close to $12,000 in cash. Facing a variety of possession of drugs, trafficking, and possession of weapon charges are Brooke Shadow Creighton, 22, of Standoff, and Kayla Marie Kirton, 24, of no fixed address. Netted from a search of a late model vehicle were 1,003 tablets of suspected fentanyl (with a street value of $50 per tablet in Standoff) and 100 grams of crack cocaine (valued at $10,000), 19 illicit prescription tablets, 6.4 grams of marihuana, brass knuckles (prohibited weapon), pepper spray (offensive weapon) and three cell phones. A number of items believed to be stolen were also seized and the investigation into ownership of those items continues.
