Alleged Prince George gangster Joey Arrance has secured a lawyer, but when his cases - and that of Kirsten Fredin - will go to trial remain up in the air.
Vancouver lawyer Patricia Connor, who is now representing Arrance after he parted ways with Prince George counsel Jon Duncan, told the court via teleconference during a hearing at the courthouse that she has not yet seen the information on the case.
Arrance and Fredin were arrested on Sept. 19 at a home at 4337 of Foster Road, where police seized a 10 mm Glock handgun and spare magazine as well as a pineapple-style grenade and a body armour vest.
In late November, the home was gutted by a fire from which Fredin's mother later died from extensive burns. The blaze was set 22 hours after The Twisted Soul Tattoo Parlor, owned by Arrance, was also gutted by fire.
Both were gang-related arsons, police say.
Arrance also faces a charge of sexual assault that dates back to July 2010 and a charge of resisting or obstructing a peace officer that dates back to June.
Judge Michael J. Brecknell adjourned the matters but the time it's taken to deal with the matters prompted him to urge quicker action and asked counsels for the defence and Crown to meet with the judicial case manager within the month.
