Justice F. A Day
A man who threatened to kill his brother and failed to report to his probation officer for three months has added four months to his criminal record.
Klay Nelson Tallman was handed a global sentence of 120 days after pleading guilty to assault and two counts of failing to comply with release conditions June 2 in the High Prairie Court of Justice.
He was given credit for time already served in the Peace River Correctional Centre.
Justice F.A. Day accepted the joint submission for sentencing from Crown prosecutor student-at-law Max Gerlach and lawyer Kirsty Broadhead.
Tallman was with his brother in one incident, the Crown told court.
His brother asked Tallman to leave.
“He pulled out a kitchen knife” and threatened him, the Crown submitted.
“I will kill you right now,” the Crown stated the threat.
When police arrived, officers found 1.5 grams of methamphetamine in Tallman’s possession. He was on condition to not possess or consume intoxicating substances.
Tallman was also sentenced for not reporting to his probation officer for three months from Oct. 17, 2024 to Jan. 21, 2025, the Crown added.
He was on a 24-hour-a-day curfew at the time.
Authorities did not know his whereabouts during that time, the Crown added.
