With parts of the lake showing open water, members of the St. John’s Regional Fire Department were called and were able to reach the man and bring him to shore safety.Sillett appeared in provincial court today and faces numerous charges. They include possessing stolen property, leaving the scene of an accident, being at large and failing to comply with conditions of the Sex Offenders Information Registration Act. He’s due back in court later this week.
