A court case surrounding a weapons bust in Prince Albert last spring has now cleared a major hurdle, and will proceed to trial.
Christy Simaganis, David Linklater and David Ross were jointly charged in connection to the incident in April. Two large machetes and a sawed off shotgun were among the weapons found in the vehicle stopped by police, as well as a can of bear spray and a black and white bandana.
Back in July, Simaganis and Linklater both entered not guilty pleas. Ross however, was absent from court and had a warrant for his arrest. The Crown originally hoped to proceed with a trial for all three at once and was unwilling to sever the files to have multiple trials.
Prosecutor Andreanne Dube explained the Crown’s reasoning at a hearing a month later.
