Philip Thomas May of 100 Mile House made a Supreme Court appearance in Williams Lake on Nov. 9 for a pre-trial conference.
This meeting allows all parties in the court proceedings to discuss issues important to the Crown prosecutor and the defence lawyer prior to the commencement of a trial.
May is facing several charges, including attempted murder, firearms, threats and motor vehicle offences, following a man-in-distress callout for 100 Mile House RCMP to a residence on the 93 Mile Loop Road on May 31, 2014.
When police arrived at the scene, a 39-year-old 100 Mile House man had been shot and a suspect was identified.
RCMP went to a Lone Butte residence, identified the suspect being in the home and surrounded it while waiting for backup.
The suspect bolted from the residence and raced away in a vehicle.
During the get-away attempt and subsequent police chase, spike belts were deployed, but the suspect continued driving on four flat tires.
Eventually, he was forced off the road and arrested.
At the conclusion of the Nov. 9 hearing, it was determined May's next court appearance in Williams Lake would be on Jan. 11, 2016 for jury selection.
