Man gets 90 days in jail on assault charge
A Blue vale man was sentenced to
90 days in jail after pleading guilty
in provincial court. Wingham. Sept.
15 to assault causing bodily harm
and to breaching a probation order.
According to attorney for the
Crown. L. McFalls police in
Wingham had been dispatched to the
hospital at 2 a.m. April 7 regarding
an assault.
The victim said he had been
walking with a friend, when the
accused. Ryan
approached him
"mouthing off’.
McDougall,
and began
The victim
apparently believed that McDougall
had confused him for his brother.
McFalls said McDougall struck the
victim in the face and walked away,
saying he wondered what the brother
would do when he saw what
McDougall had done.
The victim sustained a fractured
cheekbone and swelling.
Following his arrest McDougall
was released on the condition that he
stay away from the victim and that
he be under a curfew. On May 26
police were told that McDougall had
been out past the curfew and had
spoken to the victim “calling him
names and asking where his brother
was.”
Defense counsel S. Menzies, told
Judge R.G.E. Hunter that the
situation regarding the breach charge
had actually occurred on his client’s
property and called it at the “low
end” regarding severity.
McFalls disagreed, however. “My
position is that it’s on the high end
when you are on probation and
contact the complainant."
Menzies described the relationship
between his client and the victim's
brother as “very unpleasant".
Hunter sentenced the 22-year-old
accused to 75 days for the assault
and 15 days consecutive for the
breach of probation charge for a total
of 90 days, to be served
intermittently. He was also placed on
12 months probation and is
prohibited from owning firearms for
five years.
PRE-SENTENCE REPORT
An RR3, Brussels man accused of
careless use of a firearm and of
possessing a firearm without a
licence pled guilty to both charges.
A pre-sentence will be presented
for Larry Jerome Rice on Dec. 8.
ASSAULT
Hunter requested a pre-sentence
report for an RR5, Lucknow man
who pled guilty to assault causing
bodily harm.
Kyle Dorscht was charged Jan. 16
following an incident in Morris-
Turn berry.
According to McFalls, the victim
was leaving a house party when he
was grabbed by Dorscht, who
punched the victim in the facet and
knocked him unconscious. Friends
took the victim to the hospital where
he was treated for a shattered
cheekbone and eventually
underwent surgery. He has sustained
some nerve damage as a result of the
injury, said McFalls.
Defense counsel D. Donnelly
presented a joint submission for 90
days intermittent and a period of
probation for the 19-year-old
accused.
The pre-sentence report will be
presented at the Nov. 17 court.
