Dale McCauley of Sarnia, was sentenced to one year in jail for his role in a brutal attack on a local Walmart employee in August of ’22. The victim, who was skateboarding through Germain Park, was punched, kicked, and hit with his own skateboard. He suffered permanent injuries and was left unable to work.

Judge Raikes described the assault as a “cowardly, gutless attack,” but acknowledged McCauley’s efforts to turn his life around. McCauley will serve just six months after credit for time already spent in custody.
