Pre-Christmas assault suspect out on bail

The man accused of beating a man unconscious on Dec. 23, 2014 is out of custody.

Dustin Durocher, 27, was arrested and charged after a 26-year-old man received life-threatening injuries.

However, he was not in handcuffs at his Tuesday Prince Albert Provincial Court appearance because he’d been released on bail at his first court appearance on Dec. 24, 2014.

The early morning aggravated assault happened in the city’s East Hill, with the victim taken to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon with life-threatening injuries the same day.

Fortunately, police said the 26-year-old has since been released and is recovering at home.

They won’t release the nature or extent of the injuries, saying those details will come out in court.

Durocher’s representation, Peter Abrametz, and the Crown set the matter ahead to early February.
