‘We can’t let him get away’: Nelson witness testifies to detaining man who allegedly struck Abbotsford officer
A man who witnessed off-duty Abbotsford police officer Allan Young being struck on the head with a skateboard in 2020 testified in a Nelson court on March 8.
The men were yelling aggressively, Coons said. One of them in particular, a man carrying a skateboard, was yelling the loudest and most violently. He and Dallas caught up to the man with the skateboard half a block away near the intersection of Baker and Ward Streets. When they confronted him, he began swinging his skateboard at them. Dallas tackled the man and took him to the ground.To help Dallas hold the man on the ground, Coons said he kicked him in the head several times.
By the time the police arrived a few moments later the man had given up trying to get away, Coons said. The police arrested him and put him in the back seat of a police car. Coons then heard a smashing sound, and turned to see that the man had kicked the back window out of the police car. Crown counsel Cheryl-Anne Pine told the Nelson Star she plans to call several additional patio witnesses on March 9 and 10. Then the trial will be suspended for a week and will resume on March 20.
