A man arrested after a traffic stop in Inverness Co. has had a date set for his trial.
RCMP say officers conducted a traffic stop on Hwy. 104 in Port Hastings in Aug. 2017.
They say they searched a vehicle, and found dexamphetamine, codeine, other drug paraphernalia and brass knuckles.
Sean Dale Simon, 37, of Port Hawkesbury was charged with a pair of possession for the purpose of trafficking counts, two weapons-related offences and three breaches.
Simon, who made his first court appearance in the case shortly after his arrest and was released on conditions, had a Sept. 6 trial date set on his weapons charges and breaches in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Monday.
A charter ruling found his arrest and detention on the drug counts unlawful, so the Crown called no evidence as his trial was set to get underway in March; the judge dismissed the charges.
