Extortion, shooting suspect released
Scott Brent Collins, 24, of Oromocto, on curfew, ankle-monitoring bracelet conditions
An Oromocto man accused of using violence to extort money from a Fredericton resident has been sprung from custody subject to the conditions of a release order.
Scott Brent Collins, 24, of Howe Crescent, was remanded at his first Fredericton provincial court appearance last week after the Crown objected to his release.
At that time, he was charged with May 9 counts of intentionally discharging a firearm at a Barton Crescent home in Fredericton knowing it was occupied, extorting money from David Wicketts by using violence, damaging a window at the Barton Crescent home of Eliza and David Wicketts, and possessing a stolen 2015 Mazda 3 belonging to Roxanne Rheault.
