Extortion, gunshot suspect passes psych tests
Scott Brent Collins, 25, of Oromocto, denies all criminal charges, gets March 2026 trial date
An Oromocto man accused of extorting a Fredericton man and discharging a firearm at a home is fit to stand trial and not exempt from criminal responsibility due to mental illness at the time.
Scott Brent Collins, 25, of Howe Crescent, appeared before Fredericton provincial court Judge Mary Jane Richards on Friday, accompanied by his defence counsel, legal aid lawyer Michael Mallory.
He faces May 9 counts of intentionally discharging a firearm at the home of Eliza and David Wicketts on Barton Crescent in Fredericton knowing it was occupied, extorting money from David Wicketts by using violence, damaging a window at the Wicketts home, and possessing a stolen 2015 Mazda 3 belonging to Roxanne Rheault.
