SASKATOON – The charges against three people arrested in a large Saskatoon drug bust are winding its way through court.
The case against Jacob Bird, Logan Klassen, and Anna Siebel is now at the case management phase for pre-trial preparations.
The three were arrested by the Saskatoon Police Tactical Unit in October 2021 following a drug investigation by Saskatoon Police. They raided three homes in the city and seized a loaded firearm, more than $150,000 in jewellery, more than $32,000 in cash, a 2012 BMV, cell phones, 216 grams of cocaine, 1,500 grams of cannabis, 719 grams of cannabis shatter, packaging and other paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.
During case management, defence, the Crown and judge go over issues to be dealt with during a trial, if needed, and is closed to the media. The aim of case management is to reduce the number of issues that would have to be dealt with during a trial.
Case management for all three is set for July 26 in Saskatoon Provincial Court.
The charges against Klassen, Bird, and Siebel, haven’t been tested in court.
