Man who threw gravel at Justin Trudeau set to be sentenced todayThe 26-year-old was charged after police alleged he threw gravel at Trudeau, who was boarding a campaign bus in London, Ontario
A sentencing hearing is expected to take place today for an Ontario man who pleaded guilty after being accused of throwing gravel at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a September 2021 campaign stop.
Shane Marshall of St. Thomas, Ont., pleaded guilty in March to a lesser charge of common assault after first facing a charge of assault with a weapon.
The 26-year-old was charged after police alleged he threw gravel at Trudeau, who was boarding a campaign bus after a stop in London, Ont., that was disrupted by a protest.
The People’s Party of Canada has previously said it removed a man by the same name as riding association president after reviewing video clips of the incident.
The prime minster, who was campaigning at the time as Liberal party leader, was not hurt.
Today’s court hearing is set to begin at 9 a.m.
