Inmate barked up the wrong tree

A Drumheller Penitentiary inmate was convicted of obstruction of justice in Drumheller provincial court Friday, August 22, for barking at a corrections officer.
    While Kevin Papequash was serving time in the Drumheller Institution earlier this year, a corrections officer and service dog were conducting a search on another inmate.
    It is reported Mr. Papequash  began yelling and barking to interfere with the work of the corrections officer and dog.
    He was sentenced to ten days, to be served consecutively with his current sentence.
    Papequash has since transferred to an Edmonton penitentiary.
