Sheffield shooting incident headed to trial
Brandon Drew Hatchard, 36, of Perth-Andover, denies shotgun allegations through counsel
A Perth-Andover man will stand trial in provincial court next year on allegations he fired a shotgun at another man in Sheffield in the fall of 2022.
Brandon Drew Hatchard, 36, of Riverview Street in Perth-Andover, wasn’t present in Fredericton provincial court Wednesday when his case was called, but defence lawyer Sabrina Winters appeared on his behalf.
Hatchard is accused of discharging a pump-action shotgun at Colton Livingston with intent to harm him; possessing the shotgun for a purpose dangerous to the public peace; possessing it without a licence and knowing he didn’t have a licence for it; and breaching a court-ordered ban from possessing weapons, all on Nov. 6, 2022, in Sheffield.
