18 months in jail for N.B. man who took 'justice into his own hands'
245 days to be subtracted for time Billy McGillicuddy spent on remand since June 5
A man who elicited sympathy from dozens of community members, including a New Brunswick village mayor, for his act of vigilante justice, has been sentenced to serve 18 months in jail.
Billy McGillicuddy was sentenced in Fredericton provincial court on Monday in connection to his June 4 charges of unlawfully confining Blake Scott and assaulting him with a baseball bat and chair in McAdam, about 75 kilometres southwest of Fredericton.
The sentence has handed down by Leslie Jackson, a provincial court judge, who agreed to a joint sentencing recommendation by T.J. Burke, McGillicuddy's lawyer, and Crown prosecutor Darlene Blunston.
"Obviously this is a case where the accused was sort of taking justice into his own hands and dealing with matters in his own way, and that obviously has to be deterred and denounced," Blunston said.
"Given these circumstances and the accused's participation, the Crown believes a fair sentence for the total of all offences would be 18 months."

The charges include two summary offences of possession of a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence and of assaulting Blake Scott with a baseball bat.
The other two charges were indictable offences of assaulting Scott with a chair and unlawfully confining him.
Two firearms charges McGillicuddy was earlier facing were withdrawn.
In recognition of the time he's already spent on remand, 245 days will be subtracted from the 18-month sentence.
Once released, McGillicuddy will be on probation and barred from contacting or approaching Scott for a year.
McGillicuddy will also be prohibited from owning any firearms for 10 years upon his release.
McGillicuddy lives in St. Croix, but his arrest and criminal charges drew supporters from nearby McAdam to his court appearances, including Mayor Ken Stannix, who on June 6 said he "wanted to support the individuals who allegedly took the law into their own hands."
Stannix said people in his village were getting frustrated with a rise in property crime, adding that "the criminals are getting away with everything."

McGillicuddy appeared in court Monday via video call, and four people, including his common-law partner and mother, were in the gallery for his sentencing.
Agreed upon facts
Before sentencing, the court heard the facts, which were agreed upon by both the Crown and defence.
The two summary offences stemmed from the afternoon of June 4, when McGillicuddy approached Scott at a friend's house and hit him in the leg with a metal baseball bat, Blunston said.
Scott called the RCMP to report the assault and showed officers the redness and swelling it caused on the back of his left leg.
Blunston said Scott also told them McGillicuddy had accused him of looking at his 11-year-old daughter while she was walking through a tunnel along a walking trail in McAdam.
Scott told police he had been in the tunnel earlier and that he nodded to someone as they walked by, but that it was only to be polite. Scott thought nothing of the interaction, Blunston said.
The two indictable offences stem from events that happened later that evening.
According to Blunston, after the first assault, Scott sent a text message to Dwain Gardner, a mutual associate of his and McGillicuddy's, to try to "clear his name" and settle the dispute.
Blunston said Gardner invited Scott to his home in McAdam that evening.
The two met in the garage, where Scott was asked to sit in a chair, followed by Gardner picking up a sawed-off shotgun and pointing it at him.
McGillicuddy then arrived in his truck and entered the garage, where he struck Scott in the back and the side of the head, and then threw him to the ground and kneed and kicked him.
McGillicuddy then used the same chair to hit Scott twice, Blunston said.
Following a scuffle between the two men, McGillicuddy instructed Scott to strip naked and get into his truck parked outside.
Scott then ran away from the home, while still naked, and was let into a neighbour's house, where he called police.
RCMP officers showed up and took pictures of Scott's injuries, which included red marks under his arm, chest, elbow, and cuts and abrasions to his knees.
McGillicuddy fled the scene, but was arrested the day after.
McGillicuddy says he's not a vigilante
Before the sentence was delivered, McGillicuddy told the court his daughter was still traumatized by the encounter she had with Scott in the tunnel earlier this year.
He also said McAdam has changed from being the safe community he grew up in, to one where his daughters have to look over their shoulders when walking around the village.
"Yes, I do acknowledge that my actions were out of line and I do take responsibility for that, but throughout this whole case I've been made out to be a vigilante and that is simply not the case," McGillicuddy said.
"I'm a father that loves my children, and I love my community, and I just want to be with my family."

Vigilante changes plea, admits to assault, unlawful confinement
Billy McGillicuddy to be sentenced Nov. 14
What was supposed to be a trial date Monday turned into an admission of guilt by a New Brunswick man facing a handful of charges stemming from what's been framed as an act of vigilante justice earlier this year.
Billy McGillicuddy of St. Croix was scheduled to stand trial on charges that include assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon stemming from incidents that took place on June 4 in McAdam, about 75 kilometres southwest of Fredericton.
Instead, TJ Burke, McGillicuddy's defence lawyer, informed Fredericton provincial court Judge Cameron Gunn that his client decided to admit to the charges.
Gunn asked McGillicuddy if he understood that by doing so he would forfeit his right to a trial.
McGillicuddy, who has been in custody since his arrest and appeared in court wearing plain clothes, said he did.
The charges include two summary offences of possession of a weapon, a baseball bat, for the purpose of committing an offence, and of assaulting Blake Scott with a baseball bat.
The other two charges were indictable offences of assaulting Scott with a chair and unlawfully confining him.
A statement of facts was not shared in court Monday, as Crown prosecutor Darlene Blundston was feeling unwell.
Instead, it will be shared along with a victim impact statement on Nov. 14, when the sentence is delivered.

Speaking to CBC News later, Burke said two other indictable charges, of possession of a sawed-off shotgun for the purpose of committing an offence, and pointing the sawed-off shotgun, had been reserved.
He said he was working to have those two charges eventually withdrawn.
McGillicuddy was denied bail after his arrest in June.
He'd originally elected to be tried in Court of King's Bench on four of the charges but changed his election to a trial by judge alone in provincial court in order for it to be heard sooner.
Vigilante justice
About a dozen family members and supporters of McGillicuddy sat in court for the proceedings on Monday.
His first appearance in June drew a turnout of about 50 people, including McAdam Mayor Ken Stannix, who at the time said people in his village were getting frustrated with a rise in property crime.

"The criminals are getting away with everything," he said.
"I wanted to support the individuals who allegedly took the law into their own hands."
Those concerns led the RCMP to hold a town hall meeting in the village to let residents air their grievances about crime and how police could improve their response.
Stannix said in August that the meeting resulted in the RCMP starting night patrols in the village.

Province taking steps to curb catalytic converter thefts
Amendments will be introduced Tuesday in the legislative assembly, says public safety minister
"Once a catalytic converter is stolen, it's often taken to a salvage dealer in the province and sold for a couple hundred dollars. But it can cost thousands of dollars for the victims to replace these devices on their vehicles," said Austin, during a news conference at St. Croix Auto in Fredericton.
Austin said he will be introducing amendments to the Salvage Dealers Licensing Act on Tuesday which will make it harder to sell stolen catalytic converters and other commonly stolen goods like plumber's lead, brass valves, copper, lead flashing and copper wire.
The amendments would double the fines for salvage dealers who don't comply, said Austin. One of the more significant amendments being introduced, he said, is one prohibiting salvage dealers from paying cash for catalytic converters or other high-theft items.
Instead, they'll need to pay using cheque, e-transfer or another traceable method, said Austin.
"We know that in many of these cases, those who are stealing these items, they're doing it for quick and easy cash," he said. "By creating a paper trail, we aim to deter criminals from committing these crimes."
Andy
LeClair, the RCMP superintendent for the west district of New
Brunswick, said car dealerships are often a target for catalytic
converter theft. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
Austin said other proposed amendments would add catalytic converters and vehicle batteries to the list of high-theft items that require salvage dealers to record date of purchase, price paid, and the name and address of the person who sold the item.
Salvage dealers will also be required to record a government-issued identification document for high-theft items along with registration information of the vehicle from which the catalytic converter was removed.
LeClair
said catalytic converter thefts have increased across the country in
the last few years, noting that in New Brunswick, catalytic converter
theft is higher in the Moncton area. (David Mercer/CBC)
"We are focused on making the lives of criminals harder," said Austin. "And these amendments will do just that."
Andy LeClair, the RCMP superintendent for the west district of New Brunswick, said to reporters that the new amendments will put the province in a better position to close down the market for stolen goods. He said it's been done successfully in other provinces.
LeClair said catalytic converter thefts have increased across the country in the last few years, noting that in New Brunswick, catalytic converter theft is higher in the Moncton area.
He said car dealerships are often a target.
Jonathan Brawn, managing partner and general manager at St. Croix Auto, said in the last six to eight months, they've had about 12 catalytic converters stolen from their dealership. He said it's a significant issue with other dealerships, too.

the last six to eight months, they’ve lost approximately 12 catalytic
converters to thieves. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
Brawn said they have cameras and have paid people to watch the dealerships in the evening due to the thefts.
Austin said the problem likely won't be completely eliminated and Brawn agreed.
"But if we can go from 10 problems to two problems, that's much more manageable," said Brawn. "No system or legislation will cure all sins or make it perfect. But I do think this is going to greatly reduce the impact, which is a step in the right direction."
