The case against an individual accused in a dangerous standoff situation in March in North Battleford returns to court May 13.
Rene Armstrong made his latest appearance in court Thursday by closed-circuit TV. According to the submission in court by defence lawyer Don MacKinnon, the adjournment is to allow time for the defence to review the Crown’s position with the client.
Armstrong faces a number of charges in connection to that standoff situation, including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized, possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, using a firearm in the commission of offence, careless use of firearm; possession of prohibited firearm with ammunition and assaulting peace officers with a weapon.
