The five suspects facing weapons charges dating to Sept. 4 in North Battleford were back in provincial court Thursday morning.
All matters for Kelly Muskwa, Dimitry Gopher, Justice Katcheech and Madison Dorion have been adjourned to Oct. 10. The exception is for Riley Gopher, who is remanded to his next appearance Monday, when the court will consider granting his release on electronic monitoring.
A bail verification report has been completed for Gopher. The indication from his lawyer was they still need time to confirm to officials that a landline has been installed as a requirement of the electronic monitoring system.
A bail verification report was also done for Kelly Muskwa, however, counsel indicated that report was not favourable and Muskwa has been remanded by consent to Oct. 10.
The other three co-accused are out on conditions, and will appear on that date as well.
The five face charges of occupying a motor vehicle knowing there was a prohibited weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon with readily accessible ammunition and possession of a stolen firearm. Muskwa also faces an additional charge of possession of a firearm while prohibited, while Riley Gopher also faces charges of assaulting a constable, failing to stop for police, dangerous driving and possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
