Darryl Berdan Arrested Again on Drug Trafficking Charges in Alliston
Darryl Berdan, also known as Kenny or Kenneth, has been arrested for the second time in two weeks on drug-related charges following a traffic stop in Alliston, Ontario. The 40-year-old man now faces charges of drug trafficking after his arrest on Friday afternoon by provincial police.
According to authorities, Berdan and three other individuals were charged after officers stopped a vehicle on 8th Avenue for having an obstructed rear license plate. Police identified the driver, who was known to be a suspended driver, and conducted a search. Officers seized a bag containing a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine, more than $1,600 in cash, and two cellphones.
Berdan appeared in court on Monday morning from jail in Penetanguishene, while his co-accused—two men and one woman, all in their 40s—were released with court dates set for January.
This arrest follows a similar incident two weeks ago, when Berdan was pulled over for another obstructed license plate on Young Street in Alliston. He was charged with possession of cocaine and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking, as well as having proceeds of crime under $5,000. Additionally, Berdan faces three counts of failure to comply with a probation order. His co-accused in that case faces similar charges.
The allegations against Berdan and his co-accused have not yet been tested in court.
