A funeral service is coming up on Saturday for 17 year old Gavin Adams of Saint John.
The Saint John High student died earlier this week after being reported missing to police on Sunday.
He is described as a dependable friend who loved to play guitar and enjoyed being on the swim team and in the choir.
Visitation
is tomorrow and Friday from 2-4 and 6-8 at Brenan's on Paradise Row
with the funeral on Saturday at the Church of St. Andrew and St. David
at noon.
After getting drunk and robbing his own employer, 35-year-old Simon Basque gets a sentence of 4 years in jail for robbery.
He has to submit a DNA sample and he can't own any weapons for 10 years.
Basque
pleaded guilty to holding up his boss's brother at knife point,
demanding a debit card, the PIN number, and car keys. He then tied up
the victim in a bathroom and took off in their van. He was later pulled
over in Quebec and arrested.
He said he doesn't know why he did it considering he didn't want to hurt anyone and he even had money on him at the time.
It's a pretty scene out there today...but not so pretty when you're driving.
Sgt Dave Cowan of Saint John Police says people should be extra cautious on the roads today.
He tells Tide News the roads are typical for a winter storm with a lot of them being snowpacked and slushy.
He suggests drivers slow down and leave a lot of space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of them.
He says police have responded to about a dozen minor accidents in the Uptown area today.

No criminal charges will be laid in the deadly shooting of a Baxters Corner man in November 2012.
RCMP
investigators had recommended to the Crown charges of murder,
manslaughter and criminal negligence be considered in connection with
the death of 31-year-old Ryan Firlotte; however, the Crown Prosecutors
Office decided not to proceed with charges because there was no
likelihood of conviction.
Ryan Firlotte and two other men were
shot during an altercation in Baxters Corner with a 35-year-old man who
also lived there. Firlotte and the other two men were in a vehicle that
had been struck by bullets. The 35-year-old man under investigation for
the shooting had been assaulted in the Saint John area earlier that same
day.
The investigation determined that all the individuals involved in the incident knew one another.
