CALGARY – A two-day bail hearing has been scheduled for a Calgary man accused of helping alleged Canadian drug lord Ryan Wedding arrange the murder of an FBI informant.

The FBI says Wedding, a former Team Canada Olympic snowboarder-turned-fugitive, has now been arrested.

Allistair Chapman, 33, and nine others were arrested last year in an FBI investigation into the international drug trafficking organization allegedly run by Wedding.

Chapman’s bail hearing is scheduled for Feb. 4 and 5.

The judge has ordered that he appear in court in person for his next appearance.

Chapman is charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine, conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to retaliate against a witness and other organized crime offences.
