Charges against a man arrested during a July 20 takedown at a 1100-block 20th Avenue home have been stayed.
Dale Charles Ryan, 42, had faced one count each of forcible confinement, assault, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Charges are stayed when Crown has determined there has not been enough evidence to achieve a conviction.
Although most matters that have been stayed are not reopened, Crown counsel can, within certain limits, restart the proceedings. The time limit is six months for summary matters and a year for indictable matters.
In all, five people were detained and an emergency response team was brought in to help Prince George RCMP carry out the arrests. As well, portions of 20th and Cuddie Crescent were closed off.
