A judge will rule on where a trial for a former Saskatchewan Mountie accused of drug trafficking should be held.
Micheal Chachula was a constable with the RCMP in Swift Current, Sask., when he was charged with trafficking cocaine and ecstasy in a Toronto bar.
Chachula was arrested and charged in January 2015.

Mounties said the investigation into Chachula started in April 2014.
He had been working as a general duty constable in Swift Current since 2012.
The former officer’s defence lawyer argued Monday in Swift Current court that the trial should be held in Ontario, not Saskatchewan.
A decision on jurisdiction is expected Tuesday.
