SASKATOON – Drug trafficking charges against a pharmacist were back before Saskatoon Provincial Court Monday and the matter was adjourned to May 22 for election.
Jenna Ternan’s matter had gone to the case management stage in December 2023 for pre-trial preparations, but according to court documents, she now has legal aid. On April 23 and May 8 bench warrants to hold were issued, which have now been vacated.
Ternan was arrested in February 2023 and released on bail. The bail condition that she not be at the Northumberland Pharmacy unless accompanied by a professional, and arranged in writing, was lifted after all prescription drugs were removed from the pharmacy.
In February 2023, Saskatoon police had raided a pharmacy in the 900 block of Northumberland Avenue, four homes, and two vehicles. They seized 20,285 grams of methamphetamine packaged in one- and two-kilogram quantities, 8,040 grams of cannabis packaged in half-kilogram quantities, more than 700 oxycodone pills, 1,038 grams of buffing agent, $12,940 cash, modified fully automatic prohibited Glock 9mm handgun with extended magazine, multiple mobile phones, and paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.
Ternan was charged with two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of the proceeds of crime over $5,000, unsafe storage of a firearm, and failing to hold a firearm license.
The charges against her haven’t been tested in court.
