A Drumheller man who was charged with drug offenses following an altercation with a post office worker saw his charges stayed.
Chad McCann appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, September 20. He was facing three charges of possession for the purposes of trafficking and one charge of stopping a mail conveyance.
The incident dates back to April 2 of this year where the Drumheller RCMP were called to an altercation between a post office worker and a suspect attempting to obtain a package of illegal drugs in a mailbox. Drumheller RCMP seized a package that contained methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl. A warrant was issued for McCann.
The Federal Prosecutor was granted a stay of proceedings.
A stay of proceedings is a suspension of court proceedings. These charges can be brought back within a year to be prosecuted.
McCann is to be back Drumheller provincial court on October 25 for other unrelated charges.
