Ninety grams of the deadly street drug fentanyl and a loaded handgun are off the streets after Peel Police made a bust in Brampton following a four-month investigation into fentanyl dealing downtown.

At the time of his arrest Galloway was on release for allegedly assaulting a Brampton transit operator.
