Friday, October 15, 2010 07:07 PM

Prince George, B.C. - Two brothers from the Prince George area have made an appearance in provincial court in St. John's, Newfoundland to face charges in connection with the seizure of $1-million dollars worth of marijuana from a travel trailer.

37-year-old Murray Charles Sholty and 33-year-old Tony Lee Sholty of Fort Fraser, B.C. were in court to face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. Both men are scheduled to make another appearance on November 19th. Murray Sholty was released from jail after posting a $55-thousand dollar recognizance, Tony Sholty posted a $25-thousand dollar recognizance.

Conditions of their release include reporting to police in Prince George weekly, adhering to a curfew and staying away from anyone with a criminal record.

The pair was arrested on Tuesday of this week after the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Street Drug Unit pulled over a vehicle towing a travel trailer near Roaches Line, NFLD. Constable Suzanne FitzGerald says a search warrant executed on the trailer discovered 117-pounds of marijuana from a drop ceiling hidden compartment within the trailer. In addition, officers seized $12-thousand dollars in cash.

I don't understand, I just don't understand

They get busted with $375,000 of pot, and they had to post a bond for $80,000. What kind of message are you trying to send out..... Crime Pays.

This is too bad for Murray - sure has tarnished his reputation and professionalism in the local MMA fight circuit and martial arts world.

why do names of people arrested in other jurisdictions get released but not people who are arrested in pg? ex. the woman arrested for the home invasion.

She has not appeared in court yet.

Borneo60 - is that meant to induce sympathy for him? At the end of the day he is a dirtbag drug dealer (pending court case of course). If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... Which gang is Mr MMA drug dealer affiliated with?

"sure has tarnished his reputation and professionalism in the local MMA fight circuit and martial arts world"

BAHAHAHAHAHA

80% of the "MMA" guys in town are drug dealers (as well as douches) so it won't tarnish a thing. And the LEOs always over value all drug confiscations, they base it on the street value in singles (if sold by the joint or by the rock). 1 million sounds way cooler than 375 grand. Of course thats how you it's a narc..they will pay the retarded price. LOL

murray,is a great man. and a great mentour and someone i have held in the highest regard for a long time. this is one of the hardest things to believe in my life. murray has let me down in ways that are unimaginable . he is not a dirt bag hes a kind gentle man with two small kids and a wife. and i cannot force myself to believe what i am hearing and seeing. murray would put his life on the line to save any random stranger on the street and that i know for a fact.

Please, please dont let this be true.
