ESTEVAN - The four people who are charged in connection with a drug bust in August in Estevan had their matters heard. Cody Blaine Klyne, Devon William Martell, Brennan Stephen McKeen and Jessica Louise Rutter-McKeen had their matters set aside to Nov. 18, again in provincial court. Judge Mitch Miller said he hopes the various legal counsels for the accused individuals can come together and determine the next step.
Klyne's attorney has previously said Klyne wants a trial by judge and jury in Court of King's Bench.
Background: The Estevan Police Service (EPS), with assistance from the Joint Tactical Support Team (JTST), RCMP International Border Enforcement Team (IBET) and the Weyburn Police Service (WPS), executed search warrants at five locations in Estevan in August. The four accused individuals were charged with possession of a schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine); possession of a schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking (methamphetamine); trafficking a schedule 1 substance (cocaine); trafficking a schedule 1 substance (methamphetamine); and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
Klyne is facing two charges of violating the conditions of his release order, stemming from a prior offence.
