Estey’s Bridge man denies drug charges
Trial date will be scheduled later this fall for Bryson Myles Arnold Maher, 19, on counts alleging impaired driving, possession of cannabis, psilocybin for trafficking purposes
An Estey’s Bridge man, through counsel, denied drug-trafficking allegations Tuesday, as well as a charge of driving drunk.
Bryson Myles Arnold Maher, 19, of Route 620, wasn’t present when his case was called in Fredericton provincial court Tuesday, but defence lawyer Emily Cochrane appeared on his behalf.
Maher faces counts of possessing psilocybin (magic mushrooms) for the purpose of trafficking, possessing cannabis with intent to sell it and impaired driving.
The charges allege events in Kingsley on April 21.
Cochrane entered not-guilty pleas to all counts Tuesday.
Judge Cameron Gunn set the case over to Nov. 2 for a case-management conference, during which the Crown and defence will discuss potential trial issues. It’s also expected the trial date will be set at that time.
