Home brew party ends in assault conviction

Doyle Kukkik, 21, of Hall Beach was sentenced to three months in jail for assaulting a friend with a baseball bat on Jan. 6, while under house arrest.

Court heard that a card game turned violent after a “home-brew” party. Defence counsel Sue Cooper said the trouble began when Kukkik asked guests to leave. The male complainant received a non-life threatening blow to the head. Cooper said the blood from the wound was likely the result of a crack in the bat; not the force of the blow.

Kukkik will serve the remainder of his house arrest concurrently with the three month sentence.
