Allison-Harding was sentenced for aggravated assault by teleconference this week in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Sarnia. A charge of assault with a weapon was stayed.
He was arrested in Montreal in February of this year after failing to attend a scheduled court date. The Montreal Police Service turned him over to Sarnia police on February 11.
