A young Minto man will remain in custody pending sentencing after admitting Friday to several violent crimes, including a count of wounding and endangering the life of another man last May.

Alexander William James Boucher, 19, of Tamarack Street, appeared in Fredericton provincial court in custody and in person Friday to answer to numerous charges.
