KENTVILLE – Police have charged a 19-year-old man for his role in last week’s protest that saw the windshield of a vehicle carrying Nova Scotia’s premier smashed.
Premier Tim Houston was in Wolfville, about 80 kilometres northwest of Halifax, Wednesday when protesters blocked vehicles carrying the premier and his staff from leaving a speaking event at Acadia University.
Mounties say a person allegedly climbed onto a vehicle and smashed the windshield while the premier and his staff were inside.
In a news release today, police say they arrested a 19-year-old from Kentville at the detachment in New Minas on Friday.
He has been charged with intimidation of a justice system participant, two counts of intimidation and mischief under $5,000.
The man appeared in Kentville provincial court Monday and was released pending a future court date.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 20, 2026.
