A 51-year-old Charlottetown man has pleaded guilty to charges related to a lockdown at three eastern P.E.I. health-care facilities last month.
Eric Frank Campbell pleaded guilty Thursday to two charges related to making death threats over the phone against a health-care professional working in Kings County, as well as breaching the terms of his probation.
The incident on Jan. 15 triggered a Code Silver at Kings County Memorial Hospital, Montague Health Centre and Bailey Drive Health Clinic, resulting in the three facilities being briefly locked down.
P.E.I. RCMP said at the time that officers went to the hospital to ensure public safety, then learned a short time later that Charlottetown Police Services had arrested a suspect in the capital city.
Campbell is barred from having any contact with the health-care professional. He is expected to be sentenced Monday.
