Robert Pammett, the central figure in a multi-agency drug investigation into the Peterborough cocaine trade

Robert Pammett, the central figure in a multi-agency drug investigation into the Peterborough cocaine trade, has set a date for his preliminary inquiry. Defence lawyer Glenn Orr was granted a two-day hearing yesterday, set for Jan. 30 and Feb. 4. Police have linked Pammett to the defunct Ontario branch of the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang. He has been the focus of Project Underground, which began as an investigation into his gang affiliations, court has heard, but shifted to the drug angle when the Bandidos disbanded in Ontario in fall of 2007. It culminated in the raid and seizure of Pammett's McNamara Road home March 26 and the arrest of nearly a dozen people from Peterborough and Toronto. Pammett has been in custody since his arrest. He was refused bail May 5. He faces 16 charges, including trafficking cocaine and possessing a restricted handgun. Co-accused Kenneth Hudson, 48, Wanda Witkowski, 36, and Krystina McMillan, 28, have been adjourned to Jan. 30.
Co-accused Cherie Pammett, 35, will appear in court Monday and co-accused Trevor Forster, 30, will appear by video Dec. 24.
