The case of a man and woman facing drug charges following a traffic stop in Inverness Co. has been adjourned.
RCMP say members of the Inverness-Richmond District Street Crime Enforcement Unit laid the charges after they stopped a car on Rte. 19 in Port Hastings in June 2017.
They say they arrested an Antigonish man and a Port Hastings woman after they seized roughly 50 grams of cocaine.
Police originally charged Gabriel Chaisson, 42, and Carol Taylor, 42, with trafficking cocaine and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
The pair, who made their first appearance in the case the day after their arrests, had a charter hearing in August; the judge denied the application in October.
Their trial was scheduled to resume in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Monday; instead, their case was adjourned until a status hearing May 23.
The trial was also adjourned when Chaisson said he needed time to find a new lawyer in January.
They’re expected to resume their trial June 28.
