Firearms and drug charges dismissed as Crown failed to prove constructive possession of stash house.
The accused was charged with possession of prohibited firearms and marijuana for the purpose of trafficking after police discovered the items in a condominium unit following a flood.
The Crown alleged the accused constructively possessed the items because he rented the unit as a stash house.
The court found that the Crown failed to prove actual or constructive possession beyond a reasonable doubt, as the accused's only connection to the unit was a single fingerprint on a glass dish in a locked bedroom he could not access, and several other individuals had keys or access to the unit.
All charges were dismissed.
