Alleged Drug Runners in Court

Two Greater Vernon residents charged in a major cocaine bust in Saskatchewan appear headed to a preliminary hearing.  Brock Palfrey and Troy Swanson --both 23-- will be back in Swift Current court October 6 to set a date for the evidence reviewing hearing.  Crown counsel Jody LaSalle says the accused traffickers also have to decide if they want to be tried by a judge alone, or by a jury. Swanson was stopped for speeding near Swift Current in March and police found 151 kilograms of cocaine in his vehicle worth more than six million dollars. Palfrey was arrested a week later in Vernon in connection with the same investigation.
