Maggie went on to explain Cam’s history.
“If you need to verify this, you can contact Sergeant Gauchet or Craig Roberson, in Washington.” She took one of Craig’s cards out of her purse and handed it to Starkley.
“How did Sergeant Gauchet enlist her?” the judge asked.
“They’ve been friends for a few years. I believe she met him through his sister.”
“Yes, I understand that that’s a very outstanding family…all RCMP.”
“Yes, Sergeant Michelle Gauchet was instrumental in Cameron’s training.” Maggie took a deep breath. “We’ve prepared a warrant so you have cause to release her.” She reached into her purse and produced the papers. “I think the charges are much more serious than what she’s charged with here so it wouldn’t cause questions if you release her to us.” Maggie handed her the warrant Craig had prepared.
As the judge read it, her eyes got wider.
“These are very serious charges,” she commented. “Are they true?”
