The former foster son of Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson will stay in custody for now.
Wearing an orange prison shirt, Jinagh Navas-Rivas appeared briefly in Richmond provincial court for what was supposed to be a bail hearing.
But the 21-year old, who is facing drug and weapon charges, does not have a lawyer so his case has been put over to January 19th.
The mayor’s wife, Amy, sat in the front row of the courtroom.
She told reporters she had not had a chance to speak with her former foster son, but she declined any further comment.
