The federal crown prosecutor’s office is withdrawing a warrant for the arrest of a man charged in a major drug bust north of Biggar.
The Saskatoon federal crown said they had asked for the warrant against Kurt Miller, 39, to preserve jurisdiction.
Miller faces charges out of Regina and Biggar. Regina Police arrested Miller during a traffic stop in May and charged him with possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and breach of probation.
Police obtained a search warrant for his home after they arrested him in Regina. At his rural home in the R.M. of Glenside, police found methamphetamine, fentanyl, GHB, Xanax pills and LSD. At the house they found numerous weapons including a semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun, a sawed-off double-barrel shotgun, a spent anti-tank weapons, a revolver and body armour. They also found $16,080 in Canadian currency, money counters, packaging for drugs, eight cell phones, computers and tablets.
Miller’s first court appearance was in Regina Provincial Court before the matter was transferred to Saskatoon Provincial Court.
He was released on bail on June 2 and at the federal crown’s request, the judge issued a warrant June 30.
Miller had an appearance scheduled in Saskatoon Provincial Court July 23 to speak to the matter. The federal crown asked for an adjournment to sort out jurisdiction and coordinate trial dates in Regina and Saskatoon.
Miller hasn’t entered a plea. He is scheduled to return to Saskatoon Provincial Court on Aug. 18 to elect how he wants to be tried.
