Suspect facing weapons-related charges has case adjourned

A man arrested after a traffic stop in Inverness Co. is scheduled to return to court in April.

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, was expected to have a trial date set on his weapons charges and breaches Monday; instead, the hearing was adjourned until April 29.

A recent 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 March 12; the judge dismissed the charges.
