Sheffield man denies trafficking charges
Louis Miller, 51, opts for provincial court trial on counts of possessing cocaine, MDMA
A Sheffield man alleged to have been found in possession of illicit drugs in quantities sufficient for trafficking denied the charges Thursday.
Louis Miller, 51, of Route 105, appeared in Fredericton provincial court Thursday to answer to Jan. 18, 2022, charges of possessing cocaine and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (more commonly known as MDMA, or ecstasy) for the purpose of trafficking, and possessing more than $5,000 deemed to be the proceeds of crime, all alleged to have occurred in Sheffield.
He elected Thursday to be tried in provincial court on the indictable charges and pleaded not guilty.
Miller also denied a charge of failing to attend court June 23, 2022.
Judge Lucie Mathurin set the matters over to Sept. 21 for a pre-trial conference, at which time the court will schedule trial dates.
