Arson suspect denies torching cabin
Chad Rex Kendell, 35, of Greenhill, pleads not guilty to other related, unrelated charges
A capital-region accused of breaking into a woman’s home, repeatedly breaching no-contact orders and setting a cabin belonging to her ablaze will stand trial on those and other allegations next year.
Chad Rex Kendell, 35, formerly of Fredericton and now residing on Route 625 in Greenhill, 40 kilometres west of the capital, appeared in Fredericton provincial court Monday with defence counsel Edward Derrah.
He was in court to answer to numerous charges alleging offences in recent months: arson by causing damage by fire to a woman’s cabin in Penniac on Nov. 24, and Feb. 8 counts of theft of a GMC Savana van, impaired driving, dangerous driving and breach of a judicial release order to remain within 300 feet of a York Street residence in Fredericton.
