Former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle granted bail with conditions
OTTAWA — Former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle, who faces several assault charges, will be released from jail with strict bail conditions that include an electronic tracking bracelet.
Ontario Court Justice Robert Wadden handed down the decision Friday in Ottawa after three days of proceedings.
Under the release conditions, Boyle will live with his parents, Patrick and Linda, in Smiths Falls, Ont. — effectively under house arrest — and wear a GPS ankle bracelet that can track his movements.
Boyle and each of his parents must post a $10,000 bond. Patrick and Linda will serve as sureties and one of them must accompany their son if he leaves the property.
