Freedom Convoy organizer Pat King denied bail in Ottawa

Feb 25, 2022 | 2:45 PM

OTTAWA – A prominent organizer of the three-week convoy protest near Parliament Hill has been denied bail.

Pat King, who is from the Red Deer area. was arrested last Friday and faces charges of mischief, counselling to commit mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobeying a court order and counselling to obstruct police.

Justice of the Peace Andrew Seymour says he’s not satisfied that King, if released, wouldn’t commit offences similar to those he’s accused of.

Seymour says he also lacks confidence in King’s proposed surety, an Alberta woman who has known King for about four weeks.

As Seymour delivered the ruling this afternoon, King sat in-person in the courtroom at the Ottawa courthouse, wearing a camouflage jacket over a grey hoodie and matching sweat pants.
