The offender, an 18-year-old Black man at the time of the offences, was convicted of assault causing bodily harm, being unlawfully in a dwelling house, and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.
The Crown sought a suspended sentence with probation, while the defence sought a conditional discharge.
The court granted a conditional discharge for the marijuana offence but found a conditional discharge contrary to the public interest for the violent and property offences.
The court imposed a suspended sentence with two years' probation for the assault and dwelling house offences.
