Violent Revenge on the Reserve (Turner Valley) – Charges Withdrawn
Charges:
CC: s.348(1)(B)/268 – Break & Enter and Commit Aggravated Assault, s.348(1)(B)/430 – Break & Enter and Commit Mischief, s.88(1) – Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose, s.264.1(1)(A) – Uttering Death Threats, s.145(5.1) – Breach of Undertaking.
Allegations:
My client’s cousins were attacked and stabbed by a couple of other guys from their reserve, so he and a few members of his family (including his brother and his father) found them and got revenge. They broke into their house with weapons. One guy had a baseball bat in one hand and a knife in the other, threatened to kill them, and slashed one guy’s arm. My client swung a steel pipe around and broke one guy’s arm with it. Another struck another guy in the head with a golf club. They fought back and fists were thrown before my client and his family left. The guys they attacked suffered numerous injuries, requiring medical attention.
Result:
On the day of trial, the Crown agreed to withdraw all charges and to resolve with a Peace Bond.
