Men accused of robberies in P.A. elect trial
Two 20-year-old men accused of committing a string of robberies will be tried by a judge alone in Melfort’s Court of Queen’s Bench.
Brandon Peeteetuce and Dorion Loessel appeared in Melfort Provincial Court on June 4 to elect their trial preference. As both will face trial in a superior court, each will have a separate preliminary inquiry at a later date which will determine if there is sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
Both are charged with assault with intent to commit robbery and disguise with intent. Peeteetuce is also charged with armed robbery, tampering with a serial number, possession of a firearm while prohibited, and breach of a youth sentence order. Loessel is also charged with assault with a weapon and breach of probation.
