UPDATE: Key convoy organizer Pat King denied bail

By Dani-Elle Dubé

Posted Feb 25, 2022 08:03:00 PM.

In his decision made shortly before 3 p.m. on Friday, February 25, Justice Seymour has denied bail to convoy organizer Patrick King.

The judge delivering the decision said he believes there is a high risk of King to reoffend.

King will be kept in custody as he awaits trial.

King was arrested last week and faces charges of mischief, counselling to commit mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobeying a court order and counselling to obstruct police.

Earlier this week, another one of the protest organizers, Tamara Lich, was denied bail, with the judge in her case believing there was a substantial likelihood Lich would commit offences if released.
