Detained suspect seeks bail again
Chad Rex Kendell, 35, of Fredericton, previously declined hearing on conditional release
A Fredericton man accused of a variety of offences - including violence and harassment of a capital-region woman - changed his tune Wednesday on his wishes for a bail hearing.
Chad Rex Kendell, 35, of York Street, appeared in Fredericton provincial court in person and in custody Wednesday, scheduled to enter pleas to a number of charges.
He was arrested and remanded earlier this year on counts of stealing a GMC Savana van, driving while impaired, dangerous driving and breaching a judicial release order to remain within 300 feet of his residence, all alleged to have occurred Feb. 8 in Fredericton.
Kendall had also previously elected to be tried in provincial court and entered not-guilty pleas to Sept. 15 counts of stealing a woman’s cellphone and distributing an intimate image of her; breaking into that woman’s home Nov. 22; breaching a police undertaking prohibiting him from contacting that woman three times (Nov. 22, 25 and Dec. 1); uttering a threat to Megan Tallick on Dec. 5; and assaulting on the first woman, threatening to burn her property and again breaching the no-contact condition Dec. 14.
