A case of what is claimed to be horseplay gone too far has resulted in more time for a Drumheller Penitentiary inmate.
In Drumheller Provincial Court on August 10, Seth Bradley, who is serving three years for aggravated assault in 2010, plead guilty to assaulting a kitchen steward in an incident at the penitentiary on June 19.
In an agreed statement of facts, prosecutor Ron Pedersen stated Bradley was working in the kitchen with the steward. Bradley proceeded to grab saran wrap and wound it into a garrote, approached the steward from behind, and wrapped the garrote around the neck of the steward.
Pedersen stated some, but not significant, force was applied.
Bradley then asked the steward, “you scared?”
The victim suffered no injuries from the incident.
Bradley, who is nearing his three year sentence for his prior conviction, was sentenced to a 30 day consecutive sentence and his DNA will be collected and entered into the DNA databank.
Judge Les Grieve, who presided, lectured Bradley about the dangers of horseplay in a place such as the penitentiary during his sentence and warned Bradley to consider his actions more carefully in the future.
