GRAND FALLS, N.B. — A Nova Scotia man has been fined $57,525 by a New Brunswick court for possessing contraband tobacco.

Wade Sack, 24, of Indian Brook was arrested and charged today during a traffic stop on Highway 2 in Saint Leonard.

RCMP say they seized 50,000 contraband cigarettes, as well as the vehicle being used to transport the smokes.

Investigators believe the illegal cigarettes were destined for Nova Scotia.

Sack, who appeared in court in Grand Falls, also had two outstanding arrest warrants from 2009 for possession of 90,000 illegal cigarettes.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
