A man who shot another man in the thigh following a violent altercation near Denny’s in May 2018 will spend two more years in jail after his initial arrest last year.
The court heard Tyson Darryl Cole, 32, entered the Denny’s restaurant with two women on May 1, 2018. Another man and his two male friends were also inside the restaurant.
After leaving Denny’s around 2:30 a.m. a verbal altercation took place between Cole and the other man. During the argument, Cole walked up the street and the other man soon followed. Cole waved his handgun and fired two shots, one of which hit the other man in the upper thigh. Cole fled the scene after discharging his gun.
Crown said a few months later on July 26, 2018, two RCMP officers spotted Cole near Kin Beach and attempted to arrest him for an outstanding warrant. Cole fled into the lake to evade police but officers came after him, and tried to arrest him. Police eventually handcuffed him on the beach and the Crown said one arresting officer suffered a twisted wrist and had to take time off work as a result.
