Ali Al-Hindal escorts a prisoner at the Halifax Law Courts in August 2022. Al-Hindal, who is no longer a sheriff's deputy, is charged with breaching a publication ban on the identity of a 15-year-old boy accused of stabbing two employees at Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford in March.
Defence lawyer Alex MacKillop appeared in court Thursday on behalf of Al-Hindal, who was not present. Police responded to a weapons call at C.P. Allen on March 20 at about 9:20 a.m. A student had stabbed a vice-principal and an administrative assistant during an incident in the school’s main office. The suspect, who allegedly harmed himself with a knife during the incident, was treated at hospital for non-life-threatening wounds.
