A man who donned a mask while robbing the Park Lane Hotel with a fake firearm was sentenced Monday to six-and-a-half years in prison.
Kenton Matthew Boyle was sentenced by Justice W.P. Sullivan at the Court of Queen’s Bench after a half-hour joint submission from the Crown and defence lawyer Greg White.
This comes after a jury found Boyle guilty of all three charges faced.
Sullivan sentenced Boyle to three-and-a-half years for armed robbery, one year to be served concurrently for wearing a mask while committing an indictable offence and three years to be served consecutively for using an imitation firearm while committing an indictable offence.
The accused was credited with nine months time served, leaving five years, nine months on his sentence.
Boyle, who hails from Lethbridge, was arrested in Saskatoon on unrelated charges on Feb. 10, 2017, while Medicine Hat police had an arrest warrant out for him over the robbery.
