In Moncton provincial court Friday, Judge Paul Duffie scheduled Downey’s bail hearing for Wednesday.

Downey is also accused of possessing weapons for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats to several people, arson, conspiring to commit a crime and attempting to commit a crime.
Charges against Downey were originally laid Aug. 27, and additional charges were laid on Aug. 29. He is now in custody.
