Drug Trafficker to Jail

Trafficking in cocaine has landed a Lunenburg County man behind bars for two and a-half years. Provincial Court Judge Jim Burrill sentenced 32 year old Randy Joe Naugler of Upper Kingsburg to a prison term last week calling him a retailer of poison who was motivated by greed. Naugler was put under surveillance by the South Shore Integrated Street Crime Unit after they received a tip August 28th last year that he was going to be selling cocaine later that day. Naugler's car was intercepted in Upper LaHave, but sped off as officers approached his vehicle. He struck an unmarked police vehicle and crashed into a ditch. A search of the car turned up five two-gram bags of cocaine powder,a further 23 grams of the drug, four grams of marihuana and seven ecstasy tablets. A search of Naugler's home turned up a further 11.3 grams of marihuana and seven ecstasy pills. Meantime, Naugler will return to Bridgewater Provincial Court October 21stto face new charges of possessing ecstasy and prescription medication for the purpose of trafficking as well as possession of marihuana. Those charges stem from a search in Upper Kingsburg July 29th.
