Guilty pleas have been entered in a case of assault causing bodily harm.
Christopher Passley, 37, pleaded guilty to that charge as well as to breach of probation, breach of recognizance by contact and breach of recognizance by removal of a monitoring bracelet. The remaining charges are to be withdrawn.
The pleas were entered in provincial court in North Battleford Friday. Passley appeared by closed-circuit video from Saskatoon Correctional Centre.
Passley had earlier been the subject of an interprovincial manhunt. After being released from custody Sept. 4, Passley fled the province before an Oct. 2 court date. Arrest warrants were issued and Passley was arrested in Calgary on the North Battleford charges in mid-October.
His next scheduled court appearance is Dec. 17 for sentencing. A pre-sentence report has been ordered and there is a chance the sentencing date could be pushed back if that report is not ready by that time.
