Jury Trial Chosen by Man Accused in Kelowna Bridge Bomb Scare

  • Roy Winter, 61, a Kelowna man, chose to be tried by judge and jury for 11 charges related to a January incident that shut down Bennett Bridge.
  • The shutdown occurred after a vehicle connected to Winter was parked on the bridge on January 27, leading to threats about explosives in the van.
  • Winter allegedly published an online manifesto before the event, outlining a dispute against RCMP and making unverifiable allegations against police and community members.
  • Winter is facing multiple charges, including arson, possession and use of explosives, causing mischief that endangers life, assaulting a peace officer, making threats, and carrying a weapon intended for a harmful use.
  • Winter remains in custody without applying for bail, the Supreme Court trial date is undetermined, and a pre-trial conference is set for July 10.
