"Two people charged after Bocock drug bust", Jayme Hagen

Two people are facing charges after a St. Albert RCMP drug bust of a local home, Tuesday morning.

RCMP were able to seize nine kg of marijuana, two kg of magic mushrooms, 200 grams of ketamine and over 1,000 doses of LSD from the 13 Bocock pl. house.

Jayme Hagen, 22, and Terra Poole, 21, have been charged with multiple offenses including possession and possession for the purposes of trafficking.

The two were released on $8,000 bail each.

"Whatever," said Poole, after being bailed out. "I do what I want.

They could face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

The two are scheduled to appear in court St. Albert Provincial April 16.

The house was originally put under surveillance when pictures of the two of them with piles of drugs and money were put onto Terra Poole's Facebook page, said RCMP. The page also showed pictures of them with guns and weight scales.

This combined with numerous complaints of foul play from other Bocock pl. residents were enough to begin setting up surveillance, said RCMP.

This is the cities fourth drug bust in as many months.

RCMP said they were going to do their very best to clean up the river valley's drug problem.

Past Drug Busts

There has been an increase in drug busts in St. Albert, said RCMP.

The Fenwick cr. bust as well the Chipchura drug bust and shooting are two local examples of this within the past six months.

According to Narconon, LSD use is on the rise in St. Albert.

The St. Albert area is a real haven for drug usage because many of the larger Edmonton dealers come into the city because the kids of St. Albert have the money, said RCMP.

The areas down by the river have the largest drug problems of the city, said RCMP.

The lower income communities tend to be hit harder by drug use because the parents are around less and some fall victim to drug use themselves, said RCMP.

There have been reports of children finding bodies washing up in the sturgeon, said one resident who asked his name not be published.

"Bocock pl. is especially bad because most of the parents work late hours and the kids are left to do whatever they want," said local resident, Jesse Snyder. "One thing is for sure, something's got to change or someone's going to end up dead.
