A man charged after a 2,200-hour joint-police-forces investigation had his case in Swift Current Provincial Court this morning.

Lionel Lepage faces drug-trafficking charges and his case will be before the court again on April 18.

He was arrested back in November along with Derek Ruest (who appears next on March 28) and Cassie York.

Lepage has been charged with trafficking cocaine, possession for the purpose of trafficking hydromorphone, and faces weapons charges as well.
