Woman arrested in Port Hawkesbury drug bust to be tried in November

A suspect charged in relation to a drug bust in Port Hawkesbury has had a trial date set.

RCMP say they searched a home in the town, and seized oxycodone, marijuana, and other drug paraphernalia in July.

Darlene Bowen, 54, has been charged with possession of oxycodone and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Bowen, who elected to be tried by judge and jury in Nova Scotia Supreme Court during an election-and-plea hearing in March, was committed to stand trial following a preliminary inquiry in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court in May.

She’s scheduled to return to court for trial in November.

A man, 54, arrested in the bust was not charged.
