Conditional sentence for man who attacked nurse ‘unacceptable’: union
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A man who attacked a nurse at an Abbotsford, B.C., hospital will not serve time in jail.
Ryan Stard pleaded guilty earlier this year to assault causing bodily harm for the March 2015 attack on a male nurse at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital.
The provincial court heard there were mitigating factors that contributed to the attack, including mental health issues.
Stard was given a conditional discharge in court on Tuesday.
