Benjamin Troy Dana Mundell, 27, of Bloomfield Ridge Road, about 30 kilometres southwest of Sussex, appeared in Fredericton provincial court earlier this month to answer to drug charges.
He elected to be tried in provincial court and pleaded not guilty to counts of possessing cannabis for the purpose of selling it and distributing it, contrary to the Cannabis Act, possessing psilocybin (magic mushrooms) for the purpose of trafficking; and breaching a probation order.
