Former Clearwater RCMP commander Staff Sgt. Stu Seib's first court appearance has been pushed back until May 23.
Seib had been scheduled to appear in court in Merritt on Feb. 21 to face a charge of theft of under $5,000. He had been arrested in January after he allegedly took cocaine from an evidence locker.
Seib was in charge of the Clearwater detachment from 2003 until last fall, when he left to take over in Merritt.
