Feb 24, 2025 | 3:03 PM

Two Regina Rams football players have been arrested in relation to a four-month drug trafficking investigation.

On Thursday and Friday, the Regina Police Service executed eight search warrants and charged five people. A news conference with more details is expected at 2:30 p.m. on Monday.

980 CJME reached out to the University of Regina for a statement.

“We can confirm Michael Jourdan and Tarick Polius are student-athletes enrolled at the University of Regina and played football for the Rams during the 2024 season. Due to the ongoing police investigation, we will not comment on the arrest or the charges. At this time, the individuals are suspended from the football team,” the statement read.

At a news conference, an inspector said from the seizures they’ve been seeing, it could be assumed that customers are going over to fentanyl more and that the drug problem is getting bigger.
