Krista Louise Dolphin and Geoffrey Mark Eagar had a show-cause hearing in Weyburn Provincial Court on May 22 to determine if they would receive bail. They were remanded into custody and will be back in court on June 2 in Estevan to speak to the charges.
Background: According to the Saskatchewan RCMP, the Carlyle RCMP seized 155 grams of cocaine and arrested two individuals following an investigation in Arcola.
A news release stated that on May 13, officers with the Carlyle RCMP detachment attended a residence on Souris Avenue in Arcola to arrest Dolphin for breaching her probation.
