Justice S.P. Hinkley
A Driftpile man who went into another person’s residence and ate a large quantity of food will fork over a few hundred dollars in fines.
Frederick Campiou, 59, was fined $200 after pleading guilty to mischief and obstruction and $200 for failing to appear in court in High Prairie Court of Justice Dec. 16.
Lakeshore Regional Police Service received a report May 24 from a Driftpile man who said the accused entered his resident “where he was not welcome” and “ate all his food,” Crown prosecutor Alex Granley told court.
Campiou was asked by the victim to leave his residence several times and he refused.
Taking away the enjoyment of the food is the mischief and obstruction, the Crown charged.
“Fines are appropriate,” Justice S.P. Hinkley decided.
Campiou was assisting the man, duty counsel Derek Renzini said.
“This is someone he is providing care to.”
The justice advised Campiou to be more responsible with other people’s property.
“Find another use of your time,” Justice Hinkley said, while ordering Campiou to pay the fines by Dec. 15, 2025.
David Lee Pfefferle, 63, of Grouard, was handed a global sentence of nine days in jail after pleading guilty to uttering threats to cause bodily harm, and failing to attend court.
He was given credit for time already served and released.
Court heard that in December 2023, Pfefferle was on the phone speaking to a Town of High Prairie administrator about his concerns about his treatment from a peace officer, Crown prosecutor Alex Granley said.
Pfefferle uttered a threat directed at the peace officer.
“I’m going to shoot him in the head,” the Crown alleged.
Pfefferle claimed he was wrongly accused of his dogs killing other dogs, lawyer Harry Jong told court.
Pfefferle told court he later apologized to the peace officer.
Court also heard also missed a trial date. Pfefferle told court he had the trial date posted on his refrigerator to remind him. He added he had taken his young daughter to her hockey game and simply forgot.
Connor James Elliott was fined $324 after pleading guilty to driving an unregistered motor vehicle and $264 for failing to produce his pink insurance card.
