Hostage-situation suspect faces new charges
Bradley Douglas Webb, 36, decides to forgo bail hearing as police file new informations
A Fredericton man accused of taking people hostage in a police standoff last month is facing a new string of charges alleged to have occurred earlier this fall.
Bradley Douglas Webb, 36, of no fixed address, was scheduled to go through a bail hearing in Fredericton provincial court Monday.
He’s been in custody since his arrest Nov. 19 after a standoff with police that shut down a northside neighbourhood for several hours.
Webb faces charges of assaulting Kimberley Murray and Tonya Francis with a weapon (a BB gun), pointing a firearm at Francis, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm to Thomas and Francis, and unlawfully confining them, all stemming from events that morning.
