Homeless man’s mental state questioned again
Andrew Derek Washburn, 32, who was sentenced to time served weeks ago for indecent act, issue with police, was back in custody this week facing similar charges since release
An unhoused man’s odd behaviour ahead of his bail hearing - during which he demanded to know the outcome before it was held - prompted a judge to order an assessment to determine fitness.
Andrew Derek Washburn, 32, of no fixed address, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by video conference from the Saint John Regional Correctional Centre on Thursday, scheduled to go through a bail hearing.
He’d been charged earlier in the week with March 10 counts of committing an indecent act by masturbating in public in front of other people and obstructing a police officer.
However, Judge Scott Brittain told the accused new charges had been filed with the court Thursday as well.
