A 44-year old Port Alberni man received a suspended sentence for threatening dogs.
Kristan Wood was in the process of being evicted from his First Avenue apartment when he spotted his neighbour taking her two small dogs for a walk, and threatened to cook them on his barbeque.
Judge Lisa Mrozinski said Wood’s actions were “odd to say the least,” and he denied being mentally ill despite strong evidence to the contrary.
Wood is prohibited from going to his former neighbourhood for a year, and must pay a $200 victim fine surcharge.
