Pennant man facing firearm charges to be released from custody
A southwest man charged with nearly a dozen offences after an alleged fuel theft led to the seizure of weapons, drugs, and a forged document is now set to be released from custody. 32-year-old Vincent Zeller appeared in Swift Current Provincial Court on Wednesday morning via video from the Regina Correctional Centre. The Pennant resident was represented by Scott Allen with Saskatchewan Legal Aid, who obtained the Crown's consent for his client's release on conditions, including a family member acting as surety and a $1,000 bail fee to be paid no later than five days after his release. He will be transported from Regina to Swift Current this Thursday, where he's scheduled to be released.
