FORMER FIRE CAPTAIN COULD LOSE TRUCK AFTER MARIJUANA-TRAFFICKING GUILTY PLEA

A former Vancouver Island fire captain may lose his truck after he was
caught speeding in Williams Lake and police found four pounds of
marijuana during a search of the vehicle.

Mounties found the pot in eight zip-lock plastic baggies inside a gym
bag, which also contained a Saanich Firefighters T-shirt.

A fire captain at the time who is now retired, Frank Albert Wolff, 54,
said he was on a hunting trip and was supposed to deliver the gym bag
to an unknown person in Williams Lake. He didn't know the man's name.

He said the bag was given to him by an 18-year-old acquaintance living
on Vancouver Island. Wolff refused to provide the teen's name.

The accused eventually pleaded guilty to possession for the purpose of
trafficking and received a conditional discharge.

At the time of the seizure in 2005, Wolff was leasing the 2003 Dodge
Ram truck, but he later purchased the truck.

B.C.'s Director of Civil Forfeiture applied to have the truck
forfeited to the Crown, claiming the vehicle was an "instrument of
unlawful activity."
