A jury in Windsor has heard that Shawn Evon, a LaSalle man, was unaware of cocaine buried in his backyard and hidden under his deck. The revelation came during his trial in Superior Court.
Police Seizure in July 2020
In July 2020, police executed a search warrant at Evon's leased home in LaSalle, Ontario. They seized a significant quantity of cocaine and thousands of dollars in Canadian cash. The drugs were found buried in the backyard and concealed under the deck.
Defense Argument
Defense lawyers argued that Evon had no knowledge of the drugs. They claimed that the cocaine was placed there without his consent or awareness. The prosecution, however, presented evidence suggesting otherwise.
The trial continues as the jury weighs the evidence. The case has drawn attention due to the unusual circumstances of the drug concealment.
