At least four more people were arrested this week in connection with the same probe, court records show.
Officers seized various drugs July 17 during back-to-back searches on Cameron Street in Corunna and at a London Line motel in Sarnia, police said. Court records show the two locations were a house near Cameron and Lyndoch streets in Corunna and The Gables Inn in Sarnia’s east end.
Officers seized an estimated $47,000 in drugs, including about 354 grams of crystal meth, seven grams of cocaine, 53 grams of fentanyl, 63 morphine tablets, two hydromorphone tablets, and more than $2,200 in cash, police said.
After the initial searches, Robin Maness, 44, Lil-Star Nahmabin, 46, and Ashleigh Quinlin, 42, were charged with five counts of possessing drugs for trafficking, police said. Maness and Nahmabin also face three counts of breaching probation.

Four more people – Stacey O’Hanlon, 34, Joseph (Joey) Calver, 67, Joel Poolman, 40, and James Stafford – also face drug charges linked to the same probe, court records show. O’Hanlon turned herself in Monday on a warrant and was granted lease the next day; the other three surrendered Wednesday and were released later that day.
The four and Quinlin, who also was granted lease Monday, were released on $500 pledges and ordered not to talk to each other, visit the places searched, or have weapons. All five are due back in court Aug. 28.
Nahmabin and Maness remain in custody at the Sarnia Jail pending court appearances Monday and Wednesday, respectively.
An eighth person appears to have been charged in the same probe, but it wasn’t clear if they’ve been arrested as of Friday.
