Drug bust suspect expected to stand trial

A man arrested following a traffic stop in Inverness Co. is scheduled to stand trial.

John Clayton “Clay” MacDonald, 77, faces a pair of charges- possession and possession for the purpose of trafficking oxycodone.

MacDonald was expected for election-and-plea in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Monday; instead, not guilty pleas were entered on his behalf.

Police say they arrested the passenger when they stopped a car on Rte. 19 in Judique North and seized oxycodone in August.

They say they didn’t charge the driver.

MacDonald is expected to stand trial April 19.
