The youth sentenced to probation after bringing a gun and ammunition to Bonnyville Centralized High School (BCHS) in March 2018 once again appeared before the courts.
The now 18-year-old, who can't be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because these offences took place when he was 17, pleaded guilty to five counts of failing to comply with the conditions of his youth probation order.
The former BCHS student failed to comply with his curfew on multiple occasions, didn't meet with his bail supervisor after being released from custody, and failed to complete the 60 hours of community service required.
The youth pleaded guilty to possession of a prohibited weapon in May 2018, and adjourned his sentencing for the completion of a pre-sentence report and facts assessment.
He was sentenced to 12 months probation and a two-year weapons prohibition in relation to the March 12, 2018 incident where he brought a gun to school.
One of the conditions of his probation was to abide by a curfew.
During his July 16 appearance in the Bonnyville Provincial Courthouse, he was sentenced to complete 60 hours of community service, and pay $500 in fines.
According to his lawyer, Jana Fleming, the youth missed his curfew when police checked in on more than on occasion because he was out at the farm visiting his grandfather and failed to inform his probation officer, as required under his conditions.
Honourable Judge Robert Shaigec wasn't completely on-board with the joint submission, noting probation was supposed to "assist you with rehabilitation."
He granted the youth "one last opportunity" to follow the order, but said the next breach of his conditions could result in a harsher sentence.
