LLOYDMINSTER – A lawyer for a man facing numerous drug trafficking and weapons charges says he is in discussions with Crown prosecutors in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
On Monday in Lloydminster court, defence Harvey Neufeld asked Judge Kevin Hill that Courtlin Littlewolfe’s matters be adjourned to March 7, adding that he is in discussions with Crown prosecutors in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
“Hopefully we will have made progress by then.”
Littlewolfe remains in custody and has charges in Lloydminster, Sask., and Lloydminster, Alta., courts.
In Lloydminster, Sask., he is charged with two counts of flight from police, two counts of assault of a peace officer, three counts of obstruction of a peace officer, dangerous driving, seven counts of failing to appear in court, six counts of driving while prohibited, two firearm offences, and trafficking drugs.
In Lloydminster, Alta., he is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, possession of a restricted firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, obstruction of a peace officer, identity fraud, flight from police, dangerous operation of a vehicle, and driving while prohibited.
Littlewolfe, 35, is from Onion Lake Cree Nation, which borders the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta. OLCN is located about 50 kilometres north of Lloydminster, which is Canada’s only border city and straddles the two provinces.
The charges against Littlewolfe haven’t been proven in court.
