Van Attack

A Glace Bay man has been released on bail in connection with an incident where a man was run down by a van during an argument early Sunday morning.

30 year old James Russell Mauger is charged with forcible entry, assault, assault with a weapon and breach of probation. The judge granted bail yesterday and he will be back in court December 15th to enter a plea.

Mauger was charged after an incident outside a Bruce Street residence where a 32 year old man was hit by a van. He’s recovering in hospital in Halifax.

Hawkes Trial

Testifying at his own trial, prominent Toronto pastor Brent Hawkes has denied he performed sex acts on a teenage boy at his trailer in Nova Scotia in the mid-1970s.

In Hawkes’ words _ quote _ “It’s not true. It did not happen.”

Earlier this week, a man testified in a Kentville courtroom that Hawkes forced oral sex on him during a party at Hawkes’ home in Greenwood, Nova Scotia.

Hawkes was then a teacher in his mid-20s in the Annapolis Valley. The trial continues on Monday.
