One of two suspects facing charges in relation to an incident in Richmond Co. is scheduled to return to court in March.
Police say two men and a dog showed up at a home on Chapel Island Rd. and tried to sell drugs to the homeowner late one evening in January.
They say the woman yelled at the two men, one left, but the second didn’t; she tried to push him out, there was a struggle, and she called police.
RCMP say he threatened the homeowner and damaged her property, but he eventually left; the woman wasn’t hurt.
They say officers arrested the two men- plus a third- in Eskasoni shortly after; one of the three resisted arrest.
Police say Tristan James Marchand, 33, of Louisdale has been charged with four counts of possession, two mischief counts, resisting arrest, false alarm of fire, break-and-enter, assault, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, and four breaches.
Marchand, who was released on conditions following a bail hearing in Sydney Provincial Court, was expected for election-and-plea in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Tuesday; instead, the hearing was adjourned until March 20.
Roderick Norman Alfred Hearn, 57, of D’Escousse faces a single count of assault; he was released from custody on conditions, and is scheduled for an election-and-plea hearing March 10.
RCMP say the third man arrested was released without charges.
