No bail for P.A. suspect arrested with meth, knife
A man allegedly caught out after his curfew with methamphetamine, marijuana and a knife was denied bail this morning by a Prince Albert judge.
Scott Richard Simpson, 32, was previously released from custody on an undertaking after he was allegedly found in possession of a stolen SUV. His release conditions included a nightly curfew from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., and a promise not to possess or consume any non-prescribed drugs.
Crown prosecutor Lihn Le said city police were dispatched to Movado’s Sports Bar just before 4 a.m. June 14 after an alarm sounded. She said police discovered Simpson nearby and arrested him because the officers were aware of his curfew. Police located a folding pocket knife on his person, Le said, along with a 1.4-gram baggie of meth and two glass pipes concealed in a cigarette pack. Arresting officers also allegedly found a second baggie on Simpson containing 0.2 grams of marijuana.
“He was not home for his curfew, and when he was located he was found with weapons and drugs,” Le said.
