BAIL SET AT $150,000 FOR MARIJUANA ACTIVIST
ABBOTSFORD - Abbotsford's self-proclaimed marijuana activist Tim Felger
will have to pay a $150,000 bail to get of out jail and allow Abbotsford
police to search his property any time if he is released.
Justice Ronald Caryer imposed the $150,000 bail on Felger during a show
cause hearing at Abbotsford provincial court on Monday morning. Felger,
known locally as a marijuana activist, is facing his third charge of
marijuana cultivation in three years after a police search of his property
on Jan. 6 resulted in the apprehension of 2,090 plants and growing
equipment. Twenty-five of those plants were being grown for a Health Canada
medical exemptee. Since Jan. 6, Felger has been in custody at the Fraser
Regional Correctional Centre in Maple Ridge.
