Judge grants house arrest, but cautions: 'I want you to continue doing what you are doing'
Jacob Bussineau's new attitude and the efforts he's made to change helped convince a judge to give the 34-year-old a chance to turn his life around.
Bussineau pleaded guilty to theft, possession of break-in instruments, and two counts of breaching probation. Officers spotted a man running away, and when they nabbed him the cops found he had two catalytic converters in a bag, as well as a saw and pliers.Pointing to her client's "significantly positive" pre-sentence report, defence lawyer Jessica Belisle said he has made a substantial effort, working towards a change "that is rare for an individual like this."Bussineau also suffers from mental health issues and has been working with the John Howard Society for a year.
His last sentence was 217 days jail and he wasn't considered suitable for community supervision at that time, the assistant Crown attorney said."I have a totally different outlook. I feel positive for the future."
