Inverness Co. cocaine bust suspect expected back in court

A man arrested in relation to a drug bust in Inverness Co. is scheduled to return to court Wednesday.

Police say officers seized cocaine and drug paraphernalia when they searched a home in Melville in June.

They charged Steven Leslie MacEachern, 25, with possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and a breach; he was released from custody following a bail hearing three days later.

He’s expected for election-and-plea in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court after the hearing was adjourned in June.

MacEachern entered a guilty plea to possession of equipment to assist in the trafficking of cocaine in relation to an April 2018 bust in Sugar Camp; he’s also scheduled to appear in court in that case Wednesday.

He was sentenced to two years in prison after he pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking in relation to a Feb. 2012 bust in Port Hawkesbury.
