A trial date has been set for a Ponoka woman charged in a drug and weapons seizure in Grande Prairie this summer.

Both Danica Joyce Nystrom, 26, of Ponoka, and Stacey Aaron Trotter, 36, of Grande Prairie, are scheduled for trial in Grande Prairie provincial court on Dec. 13, 2022.

On July 6, 2021, the GP RCMP Crime Reduction Unit executed a search warrant at a home in the area of 94 Street and 121 Avenue in Grande Prairie.

Mounties say the search resulted in the seizure of 80 grams of suspected fentanyl, 75 grams of meth, five grams of cocaine, 100 prescription pills, a loaded .32 calibre revolver, 88 rounds of .32 calibre ammunition, a crossbow and $2,900 cash.

Two individuals, including one who police say was wanted on several outstanding warrants on unrelated matters, were arrested at the home.
