Two people arrested after a drug bust in Port Hawkesbury are scheduled to return to court in the summer.
RCMP say officers searched a home in Cameron Court in the town in Aug. 2017.
They say they seized cocaine, hydromorphone, dexamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia.
Police charged Joseph Allison Sponagle, 27, of Havre Boucher and Destiny Hope Matthews, 25, of Inverness Co. with possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, hydromorphone and dexamphetamine.
Sponagle and Matthews, who had an election-and-plea hearing in April, elected to be tried by judge alone in Nova Scotia Supreme Court; their preliminary inquiry, which determines if there’s enough evidence to send a case to trial, opened in July.
It wrapped up in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court in November; the judge in the case committed them to stand trial in a decision delivered in February.
They had an Aug. 1 trial date set when their case returned to court Friday.
