A Lethbridge man who is considered a menace to people in the downtown area, was sentenced to nearly a year in jail after he pleaded guilty Tuesday in provincial court to a dozen criminal charges, including six for mischief. Crown Prosecutor Bruce Ainscough acknowledged Jonathan Grant’s mental health issues, but said his unlawful behaviour is exacerbated by his voluntary use of drugs, which cause him to wreak havoc on the public. “He is a menace to merchants and customers and other people and businesses in the downtown area of Lethbridge,” Ainscough told the judge. Lethbridge lawyer James Rouleau, however, took exception to the Crown’s description of his client.
