Fredericton man faces drug-trafficking charges
Jason Mollins, 39, remanded on counts of meth, cocaine, fentanyl possession
A Fredericton man accused of possessing hard drugs - including fentanyl - for trafficking purposes is being held pending a bail hearing set for early next week.
Jason Mollins, 39, of Emmerson Court, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by telephone from a police station cellblock Friday afternoon.
He was charged with possessing methamphetamines, cocaine and fentanyl, all for the purpose of trafficking, and possessing a 9-mm handgun while prohibited by a court order from doing so.
The charges allege offences in Fredericton on Thursday.
Crown prosecutor Brett Stanford objected to Mollins’ release, and Judge Natalie LeBlanc remanded him pending a bail hearing, which she set for Monday afternoon.
