An inmate at the Drumheller Institution was sentenced to 75 days for his part in a stabbing at the jail.
Ian Gladue appeared in Provincial Court in Drumheller on Friday, December 9. He pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon.
On December 9, 2021, police attended to a report of a stabbing at the Drumheller Institution. The victim fled four men as they attacked, and prevented him from closing a cell door.
The inmate was stabbed and had hot oil poured on him.
Gladue had a weapon but it was knocked out of his hand.
While the evidence showed he struck no blows, he was an active participant in the attack that ended with the victim in the hospital with a stab wound and burns.
The submission from the Crown and defence came as a joint submission as there were triable issues.
He was sentenced to 75 days, but had satisfied the sentence with 50 actual days with credit for pretrial custody.
