Cop-assault suspect released on conditions
Masoud Masoori, 33, of Lincoln, stands accused of trying to disarm RCMP officer Feb. 6
A Lincoln man accused of assaulting a Mountie and trying to take away the officer’s weapon has been released on strict conditions pending the outcome of the prosecution against him.
Masoud Masoori, 33, of Nevers Road, was charged Friday with Feb. 6 counts of assaulting RCMP Const. Matthew Norzil while in the execution of his duty, attempting to disarm Norzil, and resisting Norzil and Const. Jeffrey Cameron.
The Crown objected to his release, and he was remanded pending a bail hearing set for Monday.
When the case was called in bail court Monday, though, counsel asked for the matter to be set over for a day and referred to plea court.
