A Prince George Provincial Court judge gave a 30-year-old woman a conditional discharge Aug. 22 and ordered her to spend 12 months on probation for obstructing police officers last fall.
Judge Judith Doulis heard that a neighbour complained to Prince George RCMP about Angel Montana Laura Henyu repeatedly banging on a shared wall on Oct. 8, 2024.
When officers arrived, they found Henyu to be heavily intoxicated. She screamed and swore at one of the officers in front of the residence and refused to get inside a police vehicle. She continued to scream and then spat in the officer’s face.
Henyu went limp, but a second officer assisted in placing her inside the vehicle. Henyu reacted by kicking him in the chest.
Henyu, a member of the Tahltan Nation, pleaded guilty and Doulis accepted a joint sentencing proposal from Crown and defence lawyers for the conditional discharge. Henyu will not have a criminal record of the offence if she satisfies conditions of the 12-month probation.
Doulis prohibited Henyu from possessing alcohol or drugs, except for a prescription, and must participate in a counselling program as directed by a probation officer.
Doulis also required Henyu to write a formal apology to the two RCMP officers within six months.
