A warrant was issued for a man arrested last year by the North Battleford RCMP gang unit after he failed to appear in court.
Dean Lafreniere didn’t appear in North Battleford Provincial Court on Feb. 16 and a warrant for his arrest was issued. At Lafreniere’s Feb. 1 appearance, he told the court that he was denied legal aid representation and would possibly represent himself.
A lawyer for Kyle Caron appeared in North Battleford Provincial Court by phone on Feb. 16 and requested an adjournment saying defence is seeking to set a trial date but is not in a position to do that yet. Caron is now scheduled to appear on March 2.
Amanda Wahobin, 31, failed to appear Nov. 9, 2020, and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
The RCMP Crime Reduction Team arrested Wahobin, Caron, and Lafreniere on Sept. 20, 2020, after police raided a home in North Battleford, a vehicle and a hotel room. The arrests were the result of a two-month investigation into drug activity in North Battleford.
All three were charged with three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and weapons offences.
The charges against Wahobin, Lafreniere and Caron haven’t been proven in court.
