Illegal Stun Guns Case Begins Today

A trial involving a Shelburne County man accused of smuggling stun guns through the mail gets underway today in Halifax. Twenty-three year old Scott Wade Nickerson is facing a slew of charges including five under the customers act. Some of the charges involve smuggling, possessing a prohibited weapon, and importation. Three packages were flagged at a sorting facility in Vancouver last year – each destined to a home near Shelburne. That’s when the Canada Border Services Agency seized 32 illegal stun guns and 10 cans of pepper spray. Nickerson was arrested in May after police searched a home and a vehicle.
