Defendant denies impaired, dangerous driving
Creighton Basil Davenport, 60, of Central Blissville, accused of Sept. 15 offences
A Central Blissville man is headed to trial this fall on charges of impaired and dangerous driving after defence counsel entered not-guilty pleas on his behalf Monday.
Creighton Basil Davenport, 60, of Duplissea Road, wasn’t present when his case was called in Fredericton provincial court Monday, but Fredericton defence lawyer Emily Cochrane appeared as an agent for his legal counsel, Ron Morris.
Davenport faces charges of impaired driving and dangerous driving, alleged to have occurred in New Maryland on Sept. 15.
Cochrane said Davenport wanted to plead not guilty to those counts.
Judge Natalie LeBlanc scheduled the defendant’s trial for Oct. 29.
