A woman from Sydney Mines facing three charges after a home invasion in Inverness Co. has had her case adjourned.
Jessica Carolanne Leroy, 23, who has been charged with break-and-enter to a residence, assault with a weapon and resisting arrest, elected a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge-alone trial during an election-and-plea hearing Sept. 5.
Leroy began her preliminary inquiry, to determine if there’s enough evidence to send her case to trial, in Wagmatcook Provincial Court Wednesday.
It was adjourned until Feb 5.
RCMP say a woman and three men went to a home on Subdivision Rd. in Waycobah in May 2018; there was an altercation, and bear spray was used.
They say another woman was injured when she was assaulted with a rock.
Police say they arrested the woman following a short foot chase; she was treated for minor injuries, spent the night in custody, and was released on conditions the next day.
They say they also arrested a man, but he fled in a vehicle.
