Photograph By Lisa Joy A bench warrant was issued for the arrest of a man after he failed to stick around in court to deal with his matter. Trevor Cummer, 39, had an appearance scheduled in North Battleford Provincial Court on April 27. The court acknowledged that Cummer was in court in the morning but left before his name could be called. Judge Murray Pelletier dealt with all other matters throughout the day and called Cummer’s matter about another five times and even had the sheriff look around the courthouse to see if he was in the building. Cummer never surfaced the rest of the day so the judge eventually issued a warrant for his arrest.
