Suspect in hand.

The Public Mischief charge, for context, is basically a criminal offence for falsely reporting so as to cause a police response. And he sure did do that…

Consent remands are super normal when an accused is facing a challenging bail situation and needs time to perfect a bail plan. You only really get one shot at a contested bail hearing.
