On Nov. 19, 2011, Jinagh Navas-Rivas was on the stage with his foster dad Gregor Robertson, celebrating the Vancouver mayor’s election victory.
The day before, according to allegations contained in court documents, Navas-Rivas, 21, was illegally in possession of a 22-calibre Ruger firearm.
The young man who lived with Robertson’s family for two years is also facing two counts of cocaine trafficking in both Richmond and Vancouver in November and December 2010.
He is one of five men charged last week in a six-month Richmond RCMP drug squad probe that began with intelligence about a dial-a-dope ring. There are 18 counts on the indictment, which I picked up Thursday afternoon from the Richmond Provincial Courthouse.
Navas-Rivas is wanted on a warrant and Robertson issued a statement from Hawaii, where he is vacationing, urging the young man to turn himself in.
