Man receives five-month conditional sentence order in Battleford attack
The man facing charges related to an attack caught on video in the Town of Battleford last year received a five-month conditional sentence order at court in North Battleford Monday.
Adam Lesmeister, 46, was originally facing a charge of assault in the July 17, 2022, incident. He previously pleaded guilty to the upgraded charge of assault causing bodily harm.
The Crown, Steven Larocque, and Defence, Randy Kirkham, presented their statements during the sentencing hearing on May 5. Victim impact statements were also submitted at that time.
On Monday, Judge Stephen Kritzer sentenced Lesmeister to a five-month conditional sentence order. He must remain in the jurisdiction of the court during the period. He must also abide by a house arrest for the first 75 days of the sentence, and will only be allowed to leave to attend employment or with prior permission from his probation officer to be elsewhere.
