COP, WIFE CHARGED IN DRUG CASE

Francois Lemon, a nine-year Montreal police officer, and his wife,
Patricia Lambert, a former Montreal police officer, were arraigned
yesterday at the Joliette courthouse on charges of drug trafficking
and drug possession.

Lemon, 36, who worked at Pierre Elliott Trudeau International
Airport, was not on duty when he was arrested April 11.

Constable Raphael Bergeron, a Montreal police spokesperson, would not
confirm a published report that Lemon's arrest resulted from a drug
sting by undercover police buying the drug ecstacy at the Bal en
blanc, an all-night dance party April 8-9 in Montreal.
