WYNYARD – An Archerwill woman lost her charter challenge of the search warrant used to raid her home where drugs and weapons were seized last year.
On Wednesday, a judge in Rose Valley Circuit Court ruled that the search warrant was valid and dismissed 39-year-old Holly Loreen Schweitzer’s charter application.
Schweitzer was arrested in March 2022 when Greenwater RCMP, along with Saskatchewan RCMP’s Crime Reduction Team [CRT], and Warrant Enforcement Suppression Team [WEST] executed a search warrant on Schwietzer’s home. Police seized methamphetamine, LSD, OxyContin, syringes filled with suspected illicit drugs, cash, an illegally modified firearm, ammunition, a machete, a Tazer, a butterfly knife, and other weapons.
Schweitzer was charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking [methamphetamine and cannabis], possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unlicensed possession of a loaded prohibited weapon with readily accessible ammunition, three counts of possession of a prohibited weapon, and failing to comply with an undertaking.
Schweitzer had a trial scheduled for October 2022. It is now scheduled for April in Rose Valley Circuit Court.
The charges against Schweitzer haven’t been tested in court.
