A man facing several drug charges is now scheduled to go to trial in March.
Trent Angus of Edmonton elected trial by provincial court judge in his latest appearance Tuesday in North Battleford.
His charges include flight from police, dangerous operation of a vehicle, possession of stolen property and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking. The charges stem back to Dec. 17 in North Battleford when RCMP tried to perform a vehicle stop on the vehicle Angus was driving in the city. Angus fled the scene but was later arrested.
Crown and defence counsel both appeared by phone in the latest appearance for Angus before Judge Lorna Dyck. Two days have been scheduled for the trial — March 17 and 19. The March 17 trial date would be for a half-day starting in the morning. The March 19 date is for the full day.
The venue is courtroom No.2 in provincial court, North Battleford. The indication from defence lawyer Nicholas Stooshinoff on Tuesday is they will be preparing a Charter application to be heard during the trial.
A pretrial case management meeting has also been scheduled for Feb. 6 at 8:45 a.m. in courtroom No. 2.
