An inmate at the North Fraser Pretrial Centre will serve an additional 12 months in jail for a vicious attack that left a corrections officer badly injured and burned. The accused, who is only identified as J.P.B in the reasons for sentence because of a prior youth criminal record, was found to have thrown hot butter in the face of a guard. While the officer began clutching his face, the accused began punching and kicking him until other guards were able to intervene. Last month judge Shehni Dossa sentence J.P.B. to 18 months minus six months for time served. He will also have to submit a DNA sample and is prohibited from possessing weapons for ten years. The sentence stems from an incident on New Year's Eve 2010 that took place while inmates at the jail were eating breakfast in the C-Pod unit. Surveillance footage of the incident showed the inmate taking a liquid out of the microwave, before tossing it on the guard. The victim suffered second degree burns on his face, forehead, neck, lips and cheek and had drainage issues in his left ear and a swollen eye as a result of the blows to the head. Read More. |
