provincial court Monday and found Rene Joseph
Fagan not guilty on two charges of mischief.

The court was told by Crown counsel Tom Bishop
that the charges resulted from complaint Feb. 4,
following a domestic dispute at the Fagan residence at
1934 Bobsein Cresent.

Beryl Sturt testified that her 1977 Honda was badly
damaged after she had an argument with Fagan. She
told the court the windows of the car were smashed and
added that the body of the car had been cut several
times by a rectangular instrument.

Sturt also testified that some of her clothes disap-
peared after she had the argument with Fagan.

Sturt estimated damage to the car at $2700 and told
the court she estimated the ad of her personal effects
to be close to $1,400.

Conatable Hilla of the Terrace detachment of the
RCMP told the court that he, along with two other
police officers, went to Fagan's home and he saw the
Honda with smashed windows.

Hills stated that Fagan told him there was no need
for the RCMP and sald Fagan added that “he was on
his property and he could do ashe liked’. Hills testified
that the officers saw black smoke from Fagan's
chimney, and said that Fagan admitted he was burning
Sturt's clothes. The constable stated Fagan told him he
made the payments on the Honda and that he could do
what he pleased with it.

Constable Yeomans, also of the Terrace RCMP, told
the court that he also saw black amoke coming from
the chimney of the house, and stated that when he first
arrived he heard breaking glass, and then saw Fagan

gaing into his house.

Constable Hines, another member of the Terrace
detachment said he also heard breaking glass when he
was approaching the Fagan  residenc..

While testifying in his own defence, Fagan stated the
officers “didn't get thelr story straight'’ and added
that “there was no damage to the Honda at all” when
the officers arrived on the scene,

Fagan also stated that he did not feel the officers .
would be able to see black smoke coming from. his
chimney during the middle of a February night, and
added that "they never asked me anything about :
clothing" and sald even if he had burned the clothing
he would not admit to the RCMP because “rm smarter .
than that’.

Fagan denied damaging the Honda, and stated that
in any case he had bought Sturt.a new car and new

clothes,

Before finding Fagan not guilty, Collins stated ‘‘to
aay the least, this is a strange case”.

Collins stated the decision rested on whether the
statements made to the police on Feb. 4 were thefacts, .
or if they had been made out of bravado, and if the
atatements made under oath were the truth.

.“[ have my suspicions of course," stated Collins,
“but that 1s not enough to justify a conviction". .
Fagan pleaded guilty to another count of mischief,

after he admiited to pushing over a 1965 International
pickup that belonged to Sturt’s brother, Jamea Mc-
Phergon, on the same night. On that charge, Collins
ordered Fagan to pay a $150 fine, or spend 14 days in
jail in default. The court was told Fagan had
previously made reatitution to McPheraon for the
damages.

On another matter, Fagan pleaded guilty to a charge
of theft under $200,

The court was told by Bishop that the charges
resulted from an incident May 21, when Fagan was
alleged to have stolen gravel from a department of
highways gravel pit.

Drunk drivers get jail sentence

Demeria was unable to make reatitution ordered as a
condition of probation by a Fort St. John judge. Bishop
added that Demeria was unable to make the
‘restitution because he was serving a jail sentence at
the time, and Collina chose not to accept Demeria’ 8

guilty plea.

Collins also noted Demeria was charged with the
two counts of impaired driving and of driving with a
blood alcohol reading oyer .08, in seperate incidents on
April 27, April 29, and May 7. .

‘The court was also told that one charge of failure to
appear was related to the charge of breach of con-

ditions of probation, while the other three were in

relation to the charges of impaired driving.

“‘All the offenses took place over a ten day period,"
said Collins before passing sentence “so I’m going to
treat the matter as a pattern of conduct.”

Collins ordered Demeria, who has previous con-
: yietions on similar offenses; to spend 90 days in jail on
each of the impaired driving charges, and to spend 60
days in jail on over .06 charge, will all sentences to run
concurrently, He also-ordered Demeria to spend 10
days in jail on each of the four counts of failure to

appear, which were also to be served concurrently to

the other charges.
Another Terrace man, Lavern Charles Kretchmer,
was sentenced to spend 45 days in the Terrace Com-

‘munity Correctional Centre, after being found guilty

of impaired driving.

The court was told by Bishop that Kretchmer had
previous related convictions as well as being on
probation, and Bishop added that the crown felt that
“4ncarceration is called for in this instance.”’

Before passing sentence, Collins stated “I must
follow the policy I have set for myself in cases of this
nature, not only aga deterent to you, butas a deterrent
to others.”

Collins. noted that he had recommended to
authorities at the correctional centre that Kretchmer
be considered for the work-release program.
