Coleman was represented by Jay Rose who requested full briefs of evidence from the prosecution on all charges.

Ms Rose also told the court Coleman was the alleged co-offender of another alleged drug supplier who appeared in the court.

Murchie was also charged with one count of permitting use of place.

Mr Sinclair ordered briefs to be provided to Coleman and Murchie by November 1, with the cases adjourned until November 15.
