Man who rammed Lantzville homeowner with stolen ATV avoids jail
NANAIMO — While significantly older and less mobile than the man busted rummaging on his property, an upper Lantzville resident took matters into his own hands.
A high-risk takedown ensued a year and a half ago at a Green Lake Cres. property where a man who requested to remain anonymous intercepted Cory Edward Corbett.
A provincial court sentencing hearing in Nanaimo on Monday, June 13 heard the 43-year-old man hit the 65-year-old victim with a stolen ATV in his front yard during a failed getaway.
Contrary to the urging of Crown counsel for a jail sentence, Corbett received a 12-month non-custodial sentence, followed by 18 months probation.
