Homeless man admits to library break-in
Kelly Gordon Kleim, 30, also pleads guilty to business burglary, property damage, threats
More than three months after Fredericton’s main library branch was trashed in a break-in, the unhoused man accused of causing the carnage admitted responsibility for it.
Kelly Gordon Kleim, 30, of no fixed address, appeared in person and in custody in Fredericton provincial court Monday to answer to numerous outstanding charges.
Defence lawyer Bronwyn Mooney said her client was electing to be tried in provincial court and pleading guilty to all counts.
The highest profile charges were Sept. 30 counts of break, enter and theft at the Fredericton Public Library on Carleton Street, theft of $260 and computer tablets and mischief causing damage to library property.
