Inverness Co. man facing firearms charges has case adjourned

A man from Inverness Co. charged with firearms-related offences and a drug count following the search of a home is scheduled to return to court in July.

Police say officers and members of the Inverness/Richmond RCMP Street Crime Enforcement Unit seized marijuana, five rifles and ammo when they searched a St. Rose home in October.

Joshua MacNeil, 38, faces multiple firearms-related charges and one count of possession of marijuana.

MacNeil, whose case opened in December, was expected for election-and-plea on the firearms counts in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Tuesday; instead, the hearing was adjourned until July 17.

It was also adjourned in January, February, April and May.

He’s going through Restorative Justice on the drug charge, and is scheduled for a status update on that matter Aug. 21.
