Judson Falls, accused in Tylor McInnis's death, released from jail

Suspect charged in connection with Tylor McInnis homicide released on house arrest

One of five people charged in connection with the death of a young man whose body was found in the trunk of a stolen car outside Dartmouth, N.S., has been released from jail.

Judson Falls, 34, is facing a charge of unlawful confinement related to the homicide of Tylor McInnis, 26. The Crown and defence announced Friday they had reached a deal to allow Falls to remain under house arrest in North Preston, N.S., while he awaits his next court appearance.

He must live with a surety who has agreed to post a bond of $20,000 to ensure Falls behaves while he's out of jail.

He's under orders not to have any weapons and to stay away from his four co-accused and four other people.

Other accused remain in custody

Three people are charged with first-degree murder in McInnis's death. They are 24-year-old Shawntez Downey, Daniel Downey, 18 and 25-year-old Nicco Smith.

A youth is charged with unlawful confinement and being an accessory to murder after the fact.

All four of Falls's co-accused remain in custody. And all five are charged with unlawful confinement of another man, Liam Thompson.

McInnis's body was found in the trunk of a stolen Honda Civic in a cemetery in North Preston in August.

It's believed McInnis and Thompson were in North Preston together when they were allegedly attacked.
