Bail changes in arson case

A man facing multiple charges for allegedly trying to burn down his house was granted a change in his bail conditions Friday afternoon.

Wade Farrell, 67, was arrested at the scene of a house fire in Winfield on Nov. 2. He has been charged with arson damaging property and possession of incendiary material.

The fire reportedly stemmed from a domestic dispute.

Farrell was requesting he be allowed to contact his former partner, who had lived at the house in question, by phone, text and email for the purpose of separating their assets.

Farrell was granted this change in his bail conditions by the judge, with the exception of text messaging, a decision supported by Crown counsel.

Farrell will next make an appearance in court on Dec. 3.
