WIFE CLAIMS POT PLANTED IN LUGGAGE

EDMONTON -- A man who has admitted stalking his estranged wife,
planted drugs in her luggage just before she left for a trip to
Thailand and then called police, court documents say.

James Stout Green, 44, was ordered to undergo a psychiatric assessment
after pleading guilty to criminal harassment and a sentencing date is
slated to be set tomorrow.

Green is being held in custody and also faces further counts of
criminal harassment as well as charges of disobeying court orders,
uttering death threats and breaching a peace bond and an emergency
protection order.

Some of the criminal allegations Green is facing are detailed in an
affidavit filed in Court of Queen's Bench by his estranged wife
Suzanne Green, a 43-year-old Edmonton nurse, in the couple's divorce
proceeding.

In an affidavit sworn on March 3, Suzanne Green alleges her estranged
husband threatened to kill her on Dec. 5, 2005, after she had dinner
with a man named Terry.

"Among other things, (he) said he could kill someone without getting
caught and that I better put 9-1-1 on speed dial," says Green in her
affidavit.

The nurse alleges she found a bag of marijuana in a knapsack she had
packed for a trip to Thailand and the next morning she found a second
bag of marijuana in another bag she had packed.
