Ninety-Eight Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-Five Dollars and Seventy-Five Cents, Weighed Out to the Quarter, and Not One Age Anywhere in the Charge Sheet: Three Police Services Take Two Timmins Houses and Name a Toronto Man (September 16, 2026)
TIMMINS, Ont. — The Timmins Police Service can tell you that the cash came to ninety-eight thousand six hundred and fifty-five dollars and seventy-five cents, that the fentanyl weighed 190.2 grams and the cocaine 238.7, and that the crystal methamphetamine ran to 378.9 grams at an estimated thirty-seven thousand eight hundred and ninety dollars. What it cannot tell you is how old any of the three people charged are. On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the service’s Emergency Response Team executed two Controlled Drugs and Substances Act warrants without incident — one at a residence in the area of Birch Street South, one in the area of Rekela Street — and closed a file opened in June. Compton Taitt, of Toronto, Kody Brown, of Timmins, and Jessica Nunez, of Timmins, were arrested and held for bail. Three police services worked it. No firearm was found.
What makes this a file rather than a bust is the shape of the two houses. One held the product. The other held the money and the machine to count it. That division is the ordinary architecture of a supply line, and the release describes it without ever using the word.
The Two Addresses, and What Came Out of Each
- Birch Street South — the product. 190.2 g fentanyl, described as brown and yellow powder, valued at $38,040. 238.7 g cocaine, valued at $47,740. 378.9 g crystal methamphetamine, valued at $37,890. 43 oxycodone (Percocet) tablets, valued at $860. Total street value put by police at $124,530. Also: $9,478.75 in cash, three cellphones, one digital scale. Compton Taitt was arrested here.
- Rekela Street — the money. Approximately $89,177 in bundled cash, a money counter, brass knuckles, one conducted energy weapon, three cellphones and financial documents. Kody Brown and Jessica Nunez were arrested here.
- Cash total: $98,655.75. Cash and drugs together: $223,185.75.
- No firearm was seized. The weapons recovered are prohibited devices — brass knuckles and a conducted energy weapon — not guns.
- Entry: both warrants executed without incident by the Timmins Police Service Emergency Response Team.
- When it started: June 2026, after investigators identified suspected trafficking from one residence connected to a second.
- No project name was given.
- No ages were published for any of the three accused.
- No civic addresses were published. The release says “in the area of” for both.
Who Faces What
The charges are laid in three overlapping groups, and the shape of them is worth reading carefully.
Compton Taitt, of Toronto, alone faces Possession of Oxycodone for the Purpose of Trafficking. He is the only one charged on the Percocet.
Taitt, Brown and Nunez together face Possession of Fentanyl for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Crystal Methamphetamine for the Purpose of Trafficking, and Proceeds of Crime Over $5,000.
Brown and Nunez together additionally face two counts of Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose and two counts of Possession of a Prohibited Device — the brass knuckles and the conducted energy weapon from the money house.
All three were held in custody pending bail hearings.
The Toronto Address Is the Detail
Timmins sits roughly seven hundred kilometres north of Toronto. One of the three accused is listed as being from there, and he is the one arrested at the house with the drugs in it. The release does not say he brought them, does not describe a supply route, and does not use the phrase “drug line.” It simply records a home town.
This briefing records it the same way. A Toronto address on a northern Ontario trafficking charge sheet is a fact worth noting and not a finding about how the product travelled. Police have asserted nothing about that.
The Other Timmins Warrant, and Why It Is Not This One
The day before — Tuesday, September 15, 2026 — the same drug unit was on a different file. A warrant at an apartment on Balsam Street North, executed by the same Emergency Response Team with the OPP Northeast Region Community Street Crime Unit but without the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service, produced a Glock 20 Gen 4 10 mm handgun with six rounds in the magazine, about $12,000 in cash, 66 g fentanyl, 63 g cocaine, 2,000 methamphetamine tablets, 34 g crystal methamphetamine and 152 oxycodone tablets. Joshua Dompierre-Dean, of Timmins, and a 15-year-old youth from Hamilton were charged. The youth — who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act — was the one found with the handgun and faces eight further counts including possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition, carrying a concealed weapon, and three counts of failing to comply with a release order.
Two separate investigations, two separate partner lineups, two consecutive days. The Timmins Police Service has not connected them, and no connection is asserted here. That file is set out because a fifteen-year-old carried from Hamilton to Timmins with a loaded Glock belongs on this beat in its own right, and this site has not yet covered it.
What Nobody Has Named
No gang, street gang, criminal organization or outlaw motorcycle club has been named by the Timmins Police Service, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service, or any outlet, in connection with either file. None is named or implied here. The releases describe trafficking investigations and say nothing about who, if anyone, the accused were working for.
Nothing above has been tested in court. All accused are presumed innocent.

- No ages were released for Compton Taitt, Kody Brown, Jessica Nunez or Joshua Dompierre-Dean, by the Timmins Police Service or by any outlet. None is stated here.
- No civic street numbers were released for any of the three residences. The police releases say “in the area of.”

- The 15-year-old from Hamilton cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act and is not identified here.
- The two Timmins files are separate investigations with different partner agencies, executed on consecutive days. Neither the Timmins Police Service nor any outlet connects them. No link is asserted.
- The combined figure of $223,185.75, and the combined powder-and-crystal weight of 807.8 grams, are this briefing’s arithmetic from the itemised police figures. Police published the components, not the totals.
- No gang, street gang, criminal organization or outlaw motorcycle club has been named by anyone in connection with either Timmins file. None is named or implied here, and no profile page on this site is linked, because no organization covered by one has been named by police. The Toronto and Hamilton home towns on the charge sheets are recorded as facts and are not treated as evidence of any named network.
- Nothing has been tested in court. All accused are presumed innocent.
