Man wanted on warrant arrested for unrelated charge

A Halifax man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant has been arrested for drug-impaired driving.  RCMP stopped a vehicle around 2:30 yesterday morning on Highway 103 between Exits 11 and 12.  They say the driver gave a false name but turned out to be 51-year-old Paul Michael Lucas, who was wanted for a parole violation.  He’s also up on obstruction of justice, and due in court July 19th.

Attempted-murder trial to be in Provincial Court, not Supreme

An attempted-murder trial in Yarmouth that was to be in Supreme Court will now be in Provincial Court.  54-year-old David Leonard Kelsey is accused of that, aggravated assault and carrying a dangerous weapon in an incident last October.  His son, 31-year-old David Joseph Kelsey, has already admitted to aggravated assault and got 31 months in jail.  The senior Kelsey will enter a plea on Thursday.
