A young man from Mount Pearl appears to be digging himself a deep hole with the justice system.
Matthew King, 22, appeared in provincial court on Monday, after being charged with aggravated assault in connection with the severe beating of another young man in early August.
He's also in trouble for an incident in July. For that incident, he was charged with impaired driving and leaving the scene of an accident. As well, he's been charged with two breaches of probation.
King was denied bail on Friday, and will be back in court next week.
