A pre-trial conference will take place later in the summer for the accused in a serious incident at the temporary shelter in Quesnel.
38-year old Patrick Russell is due back in court on August 31.
He’s charged with assault with a weapon, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, and mischief under $5,000.
Russell was taken into custody on February 9, 2026.
Quesnel RCMP say a man attempted to gain entry into the building, trying to access a person who was utilizing the services at the location, by breaking the windows with a hammer.
Police say workers and the people within that location were required to shelter in place.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
