A charge of drug possession against a northern chief has been withdrawn.
In June of this year Darrell McCallum of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation was charged with possessing marijuana not exceeding thirty grams.
Today in court Federal crown prosecutor Caroline Andriashek said mediation had been completed in the case and as a result the charge has been withdrawn.
McCallum wasn’t required to be at today’s hearing and not immediately available for comment.
