New Brunswick has dropped two outstanding tickets against Saint John pastor Philip James Hutchings for allegedly violating COVID-19 public health orders and obstructing a peace officer while holding worship services last year at His Tabernacle Family Church.
The obstruction charge was laid after Hutchings, 41, allegedly refused to allow government inspectors to enter the church. A church director, Keith Cody Butler, also had an obstruction charge against him dropped in Saint John Provincial Court on Nov. 17.
