A jury has found a Regina woman guilty of three charges, stemming from a drug-related arrest in October 2017.
Marion Ellson was convicted of possession of carfentanil for the purpose of trafficking and possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking. Both charges are under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
She was also convicted of one count of unlawfully possessing a firearm without a licence under the Criminal Code of Canada.
Her case was adjourned for sentencing on Aug. 6.
Jury selection for the trial occurred on June 10. The trial began later that afternoon. It continued until June 13, and resumed on June 16. The judge gave the jury instructions in the early afternoon on June 17, and the verdict was handed down at about 8:40 p.m. that night.
A co-accused in the case, Neil Goertzen, has had his matters adjourned until the conclusion of Ellson’s matters.
Ellson and Goertzen were arrested by the Estevan RCMP following a traffic stop near Frobisher on Oct. 7, 2017.
