House arrest order for Ryan Lucas

A St-Isidore man will be under house arrest for part of his sentence after pleading guilty to a weapon assault charge resulting from an incident that occurred early in 2017.

Ryan Lucas, 22, of St-Isidore, entered the plea during the January 10 provincial court session in L’Orignal. Both the Crown and defence counsels proposed a six-month conditional sentence.

Judge Marc D’Amour agreed to defence counsel’s request for Lucas to serve three months of the sentence under house arrest, through the electronic monitoring program. The sole exemptions to the house arrest period are when he needs to go out of the house to attend school or medical appoint- ments. He must be able to provide written approval on demand for those exemptions. On Saturdays, he has a limited time available to go out to shop for «the necessities of life.»

For the remaining three months of his sentence, Lucas is still confined to his home, but he can go out during the day, subject to a curfew limit. After the six-month period is over, Lucas is on probation for two years.

The conditions of his probation include a no-contact order concerning the victim of his assault and two witnesses to the incident. He is also required to attend counselling programs.

Lucas is also banned for 10 years from owning firearms or other types of weapons. He must also pay a $600 victim’s surcharge fine.

Un homme de Saint-Isidore sera assigné à résidence pour une partie de sa peine après avoir plaidé coupable à une accusation d’agression armée, à la suite d’un incident survenu au début de 2017. Ryan Lucas, 22 ans, a plaidé coupable le 10 janvier.
