Kole Marchant, 28, is charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of the proceeds of crime and breach of recognizance.

He was scheduled to appear Monday in Prince Albert provincial court.

Marchant was charged in November 2016 with conspiracy to traffic cocaine after a five-month long investigation by CFSEU dubbed Project Kahuna.

Officers seized 1,035 grams of cocaine along with marijuana, cash, vehicles and electronics following searches of five homes in and around Prince Albert on Nov. 20, 2016.

Seven people were arrested in what CFSEU called a “sophisticated drug distribution network.”
