At the federal Crown prosecutor’s request, Judge Daniel O’Hanlon stayed all charges against Cummer’s co-accused Ashlyn Paules.

Police say when Cummer was arrested he had 22 grams of crack cocaine on him, hydromorphone, cash and weapons. During the search police say they found more evidence of drug trafficking. Paules was arrested at the residence and Cummer was arrested on his way to the residence. The search warrant came after a drug trafficking investigation the North Battleford RCMP Gang Task Force/Street Enforcement Team began at the end of September 2020.
“Mr. Clinton has been in custody since last January, almost a year,” said lawyer Tom Stepper who represents Clinton. “The trial was adjourned three times. All the adjournments were opposed by defence.” Stepper told the court on Jan. 15, 2021, that the continued incarceration of Clinton without being able to get “his day in court is very troubling to defence.” Judge Kevin Hill said the court is “aware of Mr. Clinton’s situation and continued incarceration.” He added that once trials and preliminary hearings are able to resume the court will prioritize matters. “He (Clinton) is remanded at this point by law,” said Judge Hill.
