Man committed to trial for police assaults

An east side man has been committed to stand trial on charges of assaulting police.

43 year old Christopher Bustard underwent a preliminary hearing this week on charges of assaulting three police officers while they were trying to arrest him in January. The judge ruled there was enough evidence to go to trial and ordered Bustard not to have any contact with any member of the Bachus Motorcycle Club or the officers.

No trial date has been set yet.

More priest abuse lawsuits

More lawsuits have been filed alleging sexual abuse by former priest Yvon Arsenault, according to CBC.

A man who attended Saint-Henri church in Barachois and another who went to Sainte-Thérèse in Cap Pelé have each filed lawsuits against Arsenault and the archbishop of Moncton. Arsenault is already serving a four-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to nine counts of molestation involving other boys dating back to the 1070s. The two lawsuits also state that if the archdiocese didn’t know about the alleged sexual abuse, it should have.
