A South ÐÔÊӽ紫ý senior who was charged four years ago in connection to a reported shooting has received a suspended sentence.

Kenneth Turpin, who was 70 at the time of his arrest, was sentenced Feb. 1 to one year probation. His weapon was ordered to be forfeited and he was prohibited from possessing firearms for 10 years.

RELATED:

Turpin was charged after police responded to an incident on June 3, 2017 near the 1300-block of 176 Street. Officers found one man with non-life-threatening injuries.

Turpin was initially charged with unlawfully discharging a firearm, aggravated assault, and possession of a loaded or unloaded prohibited or restricted firearm.

ÐÔÊӽ紫ý court records indicate that Turpin plead guilty on Sept. 7 to a lesser charge of careless use or storage of a firearm.

The two other charges, BC Prosecution Service communications counsel Dan McLaughlin told Peace Arch News, were stayed.
