Impaired driving charges dropped against former Halifax Mooseheads star
Charges against the Halifax Mooseheads' career points leader were dropped Friday after the Crown offered no evidence at trial. Jordan Dumais, who last suited up for the team a year ago, was charged after being pulled over by police in downtown Halifax at 2:20 a.m. AT on March 1, 2024. But on Friday, the Crown received word shortly before they were due in court that the investigating officer would not be attending. "As a result, the Crown determined that he could not proceed without the officer's testimony and offered no evidence," said Public Prosecution Service spokesperson Melissa Noonan in a statement. Dumais, now 21, is from the Montreal area. He was suspended from the Mooseheads for five games at the time the charge was filed. Defence lawyer Stan MacDonald entered a not-guilty plea on Dumais' behalf last July. He could not be reached for an interview. Dumais was a third-round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2022. He played for Team Canada at the 2024 world juniors in Sweden, but then underwent abdominal surgery in Columbus, Ohio, following the tournament. This season, Dumais played for the Cleveland Monsters in the American Hockey League, scoring four goals and seven assists in 21 games for the Blue Jackets' farm team. In November 2023, Dumais broke the Mooseheads' franchise point record. He ended his four seasons with the Mooseheads with 325 points.

Blue Jackets prospect Jordan Dumais has DUI charges dismissed: Report
Two impaired driving charges against Columbus Blue Jackets prospect Jordan Dumais were dismissed Friday in Halifax, Nova Scotia, when the arresting officer failed to show up for the start of Dumais' trial in Halifax provincial court, according to the Chronicle Herald newspaper. Dumais, 21, pled not guilty to impaired driving and having a blood-alcohol level higher than 0.8 percent when he stopped by Halifax police on March 1, 2024. Advertisement According to the Chronicle Herald, both Dumais and defense attorney Stan MacDonald declined comment after the hearing. Dumais, a third-round pick (No. 96 overall) of the Blue Jackets in 2022, missed more than a year of hockey with hip and abdominal injuries that required surgery. He made his pro debut midway through last season and finished with four goals and seven assists in 21 games with AHL Cleveland.
