Trial delayed for accused in Muskoday standoff

Aug 18, 2023 | 6:00 AM

A trial that was to happen yesterday in Prince Albert Provincial Court has been delayed after witnesses were not present.

Colton Lafond will back in front of a judge on September 1 for trial on another matter and will have a new date set for the trial that should have happened yesterday.

Police officers attempted to serve subpoenas on two witnesses on multiple occasions but did not find them at any of the locations they looked.

Lafond was charged in January after Prince Albert RCMP were called to a robbery on the Muskoday first nation.
