The accused applied for judicial interim release pending an extradition hearing to the United States on charges of conspiracy to traffic marijuana.
The Crown opposed release, citing the reverse onus under section 515(6)(d) of the Criminal Code and the accused's history of failing to comply with court orders.
The court found that the accused's proposed release plan, which relied heavily on electronic monitoring, was insufficient to mitigate the significant flight risk and the risk of continuing criminal activity.
The application for judicial interim release was dismissed and the accused was ordered detained.
