A Fredericton man accused of breaking into a downtown watering hole and who was scheduled to go through a bail hearing Thursday has been released from custody on conditions.

Drake Douglas Branscombe, 37, of Union Street, was arrested earlier this week and charged with several offences alleged to have occurred earlier this summer.

He’s accused of breaking into the Front Yard Bar on King Street on June 27 and possessing methamphetamine June 28.
