Court dates were set Thursday for Norman Bird, who faces several counts stemming from incidents in the Battlefords area last fall.
He has elected trial in Queen’s Bench court by judge alone on several counts: possession of a weapon while prohibited, assault with a weapon, robbery, break and enter with intent, using a firearm in the commission of an indictable offence, careless use of a firearm, pointing a firearm, and unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon.
A preliminary hearing has been set for June 24, in North Battleford provincial court. A case management meeting has been scheduled for June 3.
Bird is also going to trial on two counts of failure to comply with a probation order. That trial will happen June 27 in provincial court.
The court dates were set during Bird’s latest appearance in North Battleford provincial court Thursday. Bird appeared by CCTV from Saskatoon; his lawyer Kevin Hill made his appearance by phone.
