Rothweiler to face preliminary hearing

The man accused of dropping off a woman at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital with a gunshot wound to the head is scheduled to face a preliminary hearing next December.

38-year-old Brendan Rothweiler is charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm with intent to wound or disfigure and illegal storage of a firearm.

Police reported the woman was left at the emergency department entrance with a near-fatal wound at about 5 a.m. on Mar 27, 2023.

RCMP say the person who dropped her off, fled without speaking with police or hospital staff.

Rothweiler was arrested in downtown Trail later that morning.

He remains free on bail.

The 35-year-old victim from the incident over two years ago survived her life threatening injuries, but has life-long disabilities.
