Sault Man Weary of Being in Court

Allan Smythe-Lance, a man with a lengthy criminal record, pleaded guilty to seven offences, including assault, theft under $5,000, and mischief under $5,000.

According to assistant Crown attorney Andrew Allen, Smythe-Lance assaulted a man at a Huron Street home on April 13 and grabbed and strangled a woman at a Letcher Street residence in July.

"I'm getting too old for this," said Smythe-Lance.

Defense counsel Eric McCooeye stated that his client had been doing well since 2019 but relationships caused disruption. Ontario Court Justice Robert Villeneuve enhanced Smythe-Lance's 100 days of pre-sentence custody to 150 days.
