A six-month jail sentence has been given to a man charged in a drug and weapons seizure in Sundre two years ago.

Bradley William Pearce, 39, of Sundre, was also put on probation and given a firearm prohibition after being convicted on counts of possession of substance, unauthorized possession of firearm, careless use/storage of firearm, and possession of prohibited firearm, in Calgary Court of Justice Sept. 8, 2025.

Twenty-six other charges against Pearce were withdrawn, as were 22 charges against co-accused Cassandra Kopp, 23, of Sundre, and 25 counts against a second co-accused, Vicki Pearce, 64, also of Sundre.

It was in April of 2023, when Sundre RCMP say they entered into a drug trafficking investigation after receiving information that illegal drugs were being sold at a residence on 10 Ave., in Sundre.

On July 21, 2023, Sundre RCMP, with assistance from Olds and Didsbury RCMP, conducted a search warrant at the residence. Mounties say the Southern Alberta Emergency Response Team assisted with entry into the residence.
