In Calgary courts: Motorist who dragged panhandler 200 metres placed on house arrest
Article content Dragging a panhandler who had grabbed onto his car window up to 200 metres won't mean jail for a Calgary motorist. Article content Instead, Duba Wario was handed a two-years-less-a-day conditional sentence Monday to be served in the community, including 12 months of house arrest, on a charge of dangerous driving causing bodily harm. Article content Wario, 22, pleaded guilty to that charge in connection with the incident on May 26, 2023, which left Roan Campsall of Calgary suffering 'fairly superficial' wounds to her buttocks and feet after being dragged 150 to 200 metres — the length of two football fields. Article content Article content Justice Andrea Froese accepted a joint submission from Crown prosecutor Dominique Mathurin and defence lawyer Sarah Dover for the conditional sentence, which will also include 12 months on a nightly curfew for Wario. Article content Article content According to a statement of agreed facts read in by Mathurin, the victim, who has since died from unrelated reasons, was panhandling at the corner of Edmonton Trail and 16th Avenue N.E. when she approached Wario's Toyota Echo and had a brief conversation with him. Article content Campsall, then 28, asked Wario for some change and he gave her about $2, the prosecutor said. Article content A short time later she ran into her boyfriend, Dakota Gooder, and they began walking to 15th Avenue N.E., Mathurin told Froese. Article content 'The driver … pulled up close to them. She walked to the window and an argument broke out between the driver and the complainant,' she said. Article content 'The driver suddenly put the vehicle in motion as the complainant was holding onto the window of the vehicle. She repeatedly screamed at the driver to stop. She explained that she feared falling into the wheels of the vehicle,' Froese was told. Article content Article content 'Eventually, the complainant being unable to maintain her grip fell on the ground.' Article content Wario struck her hands several times during the incident and later told police he was afraid of Campsall. Article content Gooder, who had chased after the car, picked up Campsall and took her to his home before calling 911. Article content Mathurin said while Wario had an alcohol abuse problem, he wasn't intoxicated at the time. Article content Dover said her client's relationship with his father deteriorated after he was charged and eventually led to him being kicked out of the residence and left homeless. Article content Since that time he has managed to find a residence for young adults with addictions issues and is dealing with his alcohol problem, which came to a head in February when he fell asleep in a snowbank outside the facility. Article content Wario suffered severe frostbite to his hands, feet and buttocks, injuries similar to those experienced by Campsall, Dover noted. Article content Before sentencing, Wario offered an apology to both Campsall and her mother, whom Mathurin said was not pleased at the proposed resolution. Article content 'I know Roan's not here with us today, rest in peace to her … I just want to say I take full responsibility for my actions and I'll make sure it never happens again,' he said.

Man arrested after mother killed in hit-and-run wreck could now face deportation
A man arrested for a deadly hit-and-run could now face deportation. Gwinnett police say he tried to hide from them after the crash, as the victim died on a road notorious for crashes. A memorial still stands on Singleton Road where the Gwinnett County mother died Monday night. Now, Gwinnett police have arrested Anibal Orlando de Leon, 33, who is charged with felony hit and run, driving without a license, and using a false license plate. Court documents say de Leon hit the woman with his Toyota Echo during a multicar crash Monday night, then took off. 'When the car hit the other car, one of the cars hit her,' friend Tracey Wiley said. TRENDING STORIES: 'Whites only,' 'colored only' signs posted in Rockdale elementary school Atlanta police investigating 'swatting call' at home owned by TV attorney Nancy Grace Caregiver accused of buying Shein outfits, paying bills with Alzheimer's patient's credit card He helped set up the memorial for his friend, who died – a woman police identified as Tamera Brown. Wiley said she was with her teenage daughter at the time. 'By the time I got there, she was already dead, and her daughter was lying over there, but she lived,' Wiley said. Police say de Leon admitted to swapping his license plate to avoid being pulled over. Neighbors along the road and friends of the victim say dangerous conditions on Singleton Road make it hard for people to cross safely. Police say Brown was not in the crosswalk. 'They need to put a light right here, that's what they need to do,' Wiley said. As friends mourn, the county said safety upgrades to Singleton Road are coming. But for some, those changes won't bring back who they lost. 'Nice person, always laughing, talking, always having fun,' Wiley said. Police say they were able to track the suspect down at his home and make an arrest. Safety upgrades are expected to be in place as early as this summer.
