BNL star’s day in court delayed
TORONTO – The next U.S. court appearance for Barenaked Ladies singer Steven Page on drug possession charges has been delayed.
Page was due to appear in court in Fayetteville, N.Y., on Oct. 14 but his Buffalo-based lawyer says the case will resume on Oct. 28. Mark Mahoney says there’s an dialogue ongoing with the district attorney’s office on how the case could be resolved.
He says it’s taking some time because there are three defendants and three lawyers involved.
Page was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance on July 11.
Court documents allege Page admitted to snorting cocaine in his girlfriend’s upstate New York apartment last month.
Page was taken into police custody, but was later released after posting $10,000 bail. If convicted, he faces up to 5 1/2 years in prison.
