Raylene Gibot, 30, of Fort McMurray, is charged with three counts of failing to comply with a release order and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
Gibot has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Alberta Court of Justice on Nov. 10.
The driver, who police say cannot be named until an Information is sworn, was also charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and released at the scene.
