Riders, Lions ready to clash in CFL West semifinal
1h ago
The Riders are hosting a playoff game for the first time since 2021.
A 33-year-old Regina man was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday in connection with a shooting in the city in September of 2019.
Glenn Sutherland pleaded guilty to a charge of discharging a firearm with intent on Sept. 19, 2019, in the 2200 block of Osler Street. The male victim arrived at hospital seeking treatment for a gunshot wound.
The shooting was just one of the incidents the Regina Police Service cited when it made a number of gang-related arrests in June of 2020.
Sutherland was one of eight alleged gang members arrested and charged with commission of an offence for a criminal organization and attempted murder. Those two charges were stayed Tuesday when he pleaded guilty to the gun charge.
He also was sentenced to five months behind bars for a break and enter, was given a lifetime firearms ban and was ordered to provide a DNA sample.
The sentences he received are to run concurrently to a 4 1/2-year sentence he’s currently serving on other charges.
Four other people already have been sentenced in the wake of the gang arrests, and three more are slated to return to court in the new year.
