The Crown brought a dangerous offender application against the accused following his guilty plea to possession of weapons dangerous to the public peace and three counts of uttering threats.
The accused initially opposed the application but changed his position mid-hearing and consented to being declared a dangerous offender.
The court found that the accused's conduct, which began as an apparent suicide attempt but escalated into threatening behaviour toward police officers, constituted a predicate offence under the Criminal Code.
The court considered the accused's extensive criminal history including 34 prior convictions, pattern of threats, and psychiatric assessments indicating high risk of future offending.
The court declared the accused a dangerous offender and imposed a 6-year determinate sentence plus a 10-year long-term supervision order.
