A Prince George man has been ordered to pay damages to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia for his role in the July 2011 Stanley Cup riot.
A default judgment was issued to Dylan Ray Lloyd Long after he failed to file a response to a civil claim launched by ICBC, which alleges he was one of 17 rioters who caused $9,609.80 damage to a 2008 Nissan Versa.
In October 2012, Long was sentenced to a six-month conditional sentence and 15 months probation on a criminal conviction of participating in a riot.
Long must also pay legal costs to ICBC according to the order. The amounts he must pay are still to be determined.
The judgment was issued in mid-December.
Another Prince George man, Christian John Dougherty, is fighting the claim ICBC has brought against him.
Dougherty asserts that he was not among the 16 allegedly responsible for $3,448.80 damage to a 1996 GMC pickup truck.
Additionally, Dougherty "assisted in preventing rioting persons from unlawfully breaking and entering into a commercial premises," according to a response filed with the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.
In May 2013, Dougherty was sentenced to a 30-day conditional sentence and six months probation, also for participating in a riot.
In all, 46 people are named in the lawsuit launched in June 2013 and ICBC is seeking to recoup a total of $526,116.16 in expenses and claims paid out to vehicle owners as a result of the riot.
A date for trial has not yet been set and none of the allegations have been proven in court.
