Crown nixes Upper Gagetown gunfire charge
Bruce Allen, 36, of Upper Gagetown, had faced count of reckless discharge of firearm
A prosecutor moved Friday to withdraw an indictable charge of reckless discharge of a firearm against an Upper Gagetown man, but no reason was given for the turn in the case.
The RCMP laid a charge against Bruce Allen, 36, of Highway 102 in Upper Gagetown, last year, alleging he intentionally discharged a firearm while being reckless as to the life or safety of another person on Aug. 8.
Earlier this month, defence lawyer Patrick Hurley sought an adjournment, telling the court he was hopeful there could be a resolution in the case after some discussions with the Crown.
