Former Bacchus Member Released On Bail

A local man who used to be a striker for the Saint John Bacchus Motorcycle Club has been released on bail. 

39 year-old Blaine Beddow of Saint John is facing several drug charges, among them, production and trafficking.

Beddow was one of six people arrested last week as police carried out simulteanous raids in Kingston, Public Landing and Saint John, seizing drugs, weapons and ammunition. The raid followed a six-month long investigation involving four local police agencies called Operation J Turmoil. 

Bail conditions for Beddow include having to stay in the province, having to give over his passport and not having any contact with certain people, including the members of the biker club. Beddow makes his next court appearance on September 5.
