In April, Yorkton RCMP seized about 200,000 cigarettes, more than $5,000 in cash, a vehicle and a cargo trailer.

They had responded to a call for assistance from CN Rail police regarding a traffic stop.

Milliken, 61, faced four charges and pleaded guilty to three, including possession and transport of a tobacco product exceeding 10,000 cigarettes for sale purposes.

Beatty is approximately 170 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
