THUNDER BAY - A former city councillor charged with attempted murder has been granted a $10,000 release order.
Larry Hebert walked out of the Thunder Bay Courthouse on Monday following a brief bail hearing.
The Crown consented to the release, which includes strict conditions. Hebert is to reside with a surety at all times except for medical emergencies or court appearances, cannot possess, purchase, or consume alcohol or other intoxicating substances, cannot possess any weapons, and there is a no contact order for several people involved in the case.
David Young, who is representing Hebert, also asked the court to approve an alternative surety in the event the primary surety is required to leave the city. Hebert promised the court he would abide by these conditions and is willing to put up $1,000 no deposit for bail, with the surety responsible for $10,000 no deposit.
Hebert had been in custody since his Nov. 14, 2019 arrest when he was charged with attempted murder.
Police were called to a Vickers Street South home on the afternoon of Nov. 14 after receiving reports of a disturbance.
According to the initial media release from the Thunder Bay Police Service, an individual was attacked by a male at the residence and was also threatened. The individual was able to flee to another residence to call 911.
Hebert served three terms on city council and was first elected in 2006. He was unsuccessful in his re-election bid in 2018.
There is a publication ban in place on the details of the case.
