Gunfire suspect no-show for fourth time
Another court date, another warrant issued for Darrell Richard Barnes, 52, of Fredericton
A Fredericton man who failed to appear for a court date last week, only to appear the next day, was a no-show once again Wednesday, marking the fourth time he hasn’t attended as required.
Darrell Richard Barnes, 52, of Brunswick Street, was supposed to appear in Fredericton provincial court Jan. 6 to answer to indictable charges alleging he discharged a rifle at Dustin Madden with intent to wound him or endanger his life, pointed a rifle at Madden, possessed the rifle without a licence, and possessed stolen social insurance and Visa cards, all on Oct. 3, 2023, in Geary.
However, he didn’t appear as directed on that date, marking the third time he’d done so, and a judge issued a warrant for his arrest.
