New trial date set after alleged thief opts out of resolution
A man facing several charges including possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of stolen property will require a new trial date after having a change of thought.
Tyler Bear was one of two people arrested after Prince Albert Police pulled over a vehicle on Sept. 12, 2019.
After searching the vehicle, police seized small quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine, as well as multiple weapons including a rifle, an axe, bear spray, and a stab proof vest. The vehicle itself was reported stolen earlier that evening.
Bear’s trial was scheduled to take place Thursday morning at Saskatchewan Provincial Court, after a previous plea of not guilty. Proceedings were cancelled though after he unexpectedly informed his council he was not prepared to resolve matters.
