A Minto man will remain in custody pending the outcome of domestic-violence allegations against him after a judge denied him bail this week.
Raymond Patrick Barton, 31, of Bridge Street, appeared in Fredericton provincial court in custody and in person Thursday for a bail hearing.
He was charged this summer with July 12 counts of assaulting Breanna Hildebrand-Savoy, assaulting her with a weapon (an X-acto knife), assaulting her and causing her bodily harm, assaulting her by choking, unlawfully confining her and threatening to cause her death and/or bodily harm.
