A man arrested after a drug bust in Port Hawkesbury has entered a guilty plea in the case.
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 elected to be tried by judge alone in Nova Scotia Supreme Court; they were committed to stand trial in a decision delivered in February.
They had an Aug. 1 trial date set when their case returned to court in March; however, they re-elected to provincial court, and Sponagle pleaded guilty to the cocaine count July 23;
He’s scheduled for sentencing Sept. 23; the remaining charges against both were withdrawn.
