The accused sought judicial interim release (bail) following charges including discharging a firearm with intent to wound/endanger life, possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, and careless use of a firearm.
The Crown sought detention on both secondary and tertiary grounds.
The accused was captured on video surveillance discharging a firearm toward Highway 401 during a shooting incident at a restaurant.
He subsequently attended hospital with a gunshot wound.
The court found the accused failed to meet his onus on the secondary ground due to his criminal history involving firearms, the seriousness of the current allegations, and concerns about the reliability of the proposed sureties.
The court also found detention necessary on the tertiary ground to maintain public confidence in the administration of justice, given the gravity of the offence, strength of the Crown's case, and the accused's disregard for previous court orders and weapons prohibitions.
