A man charged with shooting a 16-year-old who trespassed on his property will appear in St. Albert court on Aug. 26.
Jim (James) Bregin, 84, last appeared in Morinville court on July 4 for a bail hearing. He was denied bail and is still in custody.
He has been charged with aggravated assault, using a firearm in the commission of an offence, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and intentional reckless discharge of a firearm.
Bregin stored hundreds of junked vehicles on his property on the outskirts of St. Albert. Neighbours said he was often worried about thieves trespassing on his property to steal from the vehicles.
