The accused was charged with possession of MDA and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking and unlawful production after police found a drug laboratory in the basement of his leased residence.
The accused brought a Charter application challenging the search warrants, which was dismissed as the court found sufficient grounds based on intercepted communications linking him to a drug distribution network.
At trial, the accused denied knowledge of the drugs, claiming he rented the basement to a third party.
The court rejected his testimony as implausible and found that the Crown proved constructive possession and production beyond a reasonable doubt.
