Nanaimo man arrested with homemade taser and break-in tools sentenced
NANAIMO — A longstanding heroin addiction continues haunting a Nanaimo man jailed for an unsuccessful break-in to a local mini storage compound.
Spencer Lee Schaeffer, 35, was sentenced in provincial court in Nanaimo to eight months in jail after pleading guilty to four charges in relation to an incident earlier this year.
Crown prosecutor James Kulla told court Schaeffer cut a hole through the chain-linked fence of AA Mini Storage on Cienar Dr. just before 5 a.m. on April 17, 2020.
Police were called and Schaeffer was arrested on site shortly after.
