During Estevan provincial court on Dec. 3, Marcel Allary pleaded guilty to a charge under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of illegally possessing a passport for the purpose of entering or remaining in Canada.

Two other charges were stayed by the Crown prosecutor who noted they would be proceeding by indictment.

Sentencing for the matter was adjourned until Jan. 7.

In other court proceedings, Judge Karl Bazin made a decision on sentence considering Charles Hein's matters, as the judge authorized a conditional sentence order.

Hein was found guilty of two charges of mischief as well as failing to attend court on a number of occasions.

A pre-sentence report was completed for the proceedings, and Bazin noted that due to some personal circumstances in Hein's life, his risk assessment was lowered from high to medium, considering him to be manageable in a community setting.

Bazin ordered Hein to a six-month community sentence order, which Bazin called a jail sentence served in the community.

Alain Deguerre made his first appearance in Estevan provincial court on Monday answering to a number of new charges. They include two counts of theft exceeding $5,000, two counts of break and enter, and two counts of mischief.

His matter was adjourned until Dec. 17, so he can seek legal advice.
