Two people from Napanee are facing drug trafficking charges after a police search uncovered fentanyl and other drugs at a home on Dundas Street West.
On Thursday, July 10, 2025, the OPP East Region Community Street Crime Unit, along with the Emergency Response Team, Lennox and Addington OPP, and the OPP Canine Unit, executed a search warrant at the residence.
Officers seized over 185 grams of suspected fentanyl, nearly three grams of methamphetamine, about one gram of cocaine, more than $1,500 in cash, as well as drug trafficking materials including scales, packaging, and phones.
Paul Catena, 39, and Nicole Hillson, 37, were jointly charged with possession of fentanyl and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000. Catena also faces two counts of breaching probation.
Catena remained in custody pending a bail hearing. Hillson was released and is scheduled to appear in court August 19.
