Police arrested the men on the same day.

Craig is scheduled to return to court on Nov. 8, when he will decide which type of trial - by provincial or supreme court judge with or without a jury - he wants to be tried in.

Jordan is due to appear on the same date and if he doesn’t the Crown can apply for an arrest warrant.
