Okay this thread reminded me about Kevin Johnston. So I had to look up what has happened since his arrest trying to flee across the US border.

So as a refresher, he had been sentenced to serve jail time on weekends only, for his harassment of patrons and businesses in Calgary malls during the pandemic. He did not show up for his final weekend, as upon completion he was to be shipped to Ontario to serve an 18 month sentence for racial harassment charges from years prior when he lived there.

Instead he illegally crossed into the US at the Saskatchewan border on foot in deadly frigid temperatures, got lost, and was rescued by US border patrol units who picked him up before he froze to death.

So from there he was returned to Calgary. And released on bail to live with a friend in Edmonton while he awaited trial for the latest offence. That was the last I heard.

So apparently, on March 8th he was awarded time served for his time detained, which ammounted to 30 days. And now looking at his Instagram he’s currently gallivanting around Calgary free as a bird.

How do you flee an 18 month jail sentence, get apprehended for fleeing said sentence, subsequently sentenced to time served as punishment for the attempted fleeing, and then not have to serve the 18 months you were originally fleeing from??

Please somebody explain this one to me.
