Accused drug trafficker Jason Hartley Fudge appeared briefly in Moose Jaw provincial court on Oct. 7 and had his charges adjourned to Oct. 16 for a possible bail hearing.
Fudge, 31, from Moose Jaw, was remanded back into police custody until that date. His Legal Aid lawyer explained she needed more time to receive the information from the Crown and review his file.
Moose Jaw police arrested Fudge on Oct. 5 for allegedly possessing $3,000 worth of crystal meth for the purpose of trafficking, according to a police news release. Police seized the drugs during a vehicle stop and search on that date in the northwest area of the city.
Fudge was arrested during the stop, which led to a search of a residence in the central area of the city, where MJPS found the firearm and magazine, the news release said.
According to the Crown prosecutor, Fudge is also charged with allegedly possessing an SKS rifle, possessing brass knuckles, possessing the rifle without a licence, possessing the brass knuckles without a licence, possessing a 30-round magazine with the pin removed, and possessing the magazine without a licence.
