Curtis Sagmoen has suffered a setback in his defence of charges where he’s accused of threatening a sex trade worker with a gun near Falkland two years ago.
A B.C. Supreme Court Judge has rejected the defence’s application to have a police search warrant ruled invalid.
The search warrant was issued in September 2017 and allowed police to search for certain items on Sagmoen’s family property in a rural area south of Salmon Arm.
“The accused challenges the facial validity of the search warrant on the basis that the information to obtains weren’t in support of the search warrant, is said to be rife with rumours, gossip, unsubstantiated speculation and conclusory statements without foundation, and that it was drafted so it was to mislead the authorizing justice,” Justice Alison Beames read out from her judgment Monday morning.
