A former Parkland resident who served time behind bars for ramming his truck into the gates of Rideau Hall has been granted statutory release.

CBC and GCTV News reports Corey Hurren - formerly of Bowsman - was granted the conditional release by the Parole Board of Canada last week. 

As part of his release, Hurren must continue to seek psychological counselling, take prescribed medications, seek full employment, and report his financial information to a parole officer.

Hurren had been on day parole since November of 2022. 

He was sentenced to six years in prison in 2021 - minus a year served - after crashing his truck through the gates of Rideau Hall in July 2020. 

According to court documents, Hurren was attempting to arrest Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who lives at Rideau Cottage on the grounds of Rideau Hall.
