An Oshawa man has been charged with drug trafficking after police pulled him over while riding a scooter in Niagara Falls.

He was arrested, police finding about $2,200 in fentanyl, and $1,000 in cocaine, as well as a concealed collapsible baton and proceeds of crime.

48-year old Nicholas Roditis had a bail hearing today.
