Two of the three suspects charged following a search of a Winder Cres. residence in March were in court again April 3.
Nicolas Petalas, who faces charges for possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking, and numerous firearms and weapons-related offences appeared by closed-circuit television from Saskatoon Correctional Centre. A bail hearing had been scheduled but it did not go ahead; instead his matters have been adjourned. He is due to appear again April 12 by closed-circuit TV and remains in custody until then.
The bail hearing did go ahead, however, for co-accused Liam Wuttunee before Judge Lorna Dyck on Tuesday. Wuttunee also faces charges of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking, and several weapons-and-firearms offences, among others.
The judge agreed to release Wuttunee, but on a number of strict conditions including a requirement he remain in his residence between 9 pm and 9 am the next morning. A $200 recognizance was to be posted, and Wuttunee must not possess or consume alcohol or drugs, not possess weapons, and other conditions.
Wuttunee is due back in provincial court again May 18 for election and plea.
