Second drug seizure plea date for Brooklyn couple
Two Brooklyn residents charged with producing and trafficking large amounts of drugs and other alleged crimes received more time to consider their pleas Jan. 22 in Liverpool Provincial Court.
The cases of Craig Allan Whynot, 33, and Jennifer Lynn Westhaver, 32, of Sandy Cove Rd. were set over to Feb. 6 at 9:30 a.m. in Bridgewater Provincial Court.
The venue change was made for the convenience of legal counsel.
Queens RCMP and officers from the South Shore Integrated Street Crime Unit laid the charges after seizing Sept. 28 over 100 pounds of marijuana, 5,225 illegal cigarettes, two firearms, and a crossbow.
It’s considered to be one of the largest seizures in Queens Co. in at least the past decade.
Whynot is charged with production of a controlled substance, two counts of Possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and unsafe storage of a firearm contrary to the criminal code.
Westhaver is charged with production of a controlled substance and two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
Two search warrants were executed during that evening at 4106 Sandy Cove Road in Brooklyn and in an outbuilding located at 43 Pleasant St., Milton.
The outbuilding revealed a large marijuana indoor drying operation. Plants were being dried, dropped and readied for distribution in the building.
The Brooklyn house and outbuilding contained individual bags of differing weights of cultivated marijuana, unsafely stored firearms and the unstamped cigarettes.
