Suspect facing weapons-related charges scheduled to return to court

A man arrested after a traffic stop in Inverness Co. is expected back in court Monday.

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, is scheduled to have a trial date set on his weapons charges and breaches.

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.
