A Prince George man is fighting ICBC's allegation that he was involved in damaging a pickup truck during the July 2011 Stanley Cup riot.
In a response to ICBC's civil claim, Christian John 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," his lawyer says in the response, filed last week in Vancouver.
One other man with a Prince George address is also named in ICBC's lawsuit, filed last month. Dylan Ray Lloyd Long is accused of being one of 17 rioters who allegedly caused $9,609.80 damage to a 2008 Nissan Versa.
Long has not yet filed a response.
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, and in May, 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 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.
