UPDATE: Jeremy Trodd was sentenced to one year in jail in Wednesday's court proceedings. However, he will only be required to serve half that time.
Justice Robert Villeneuve took into consideration the time Trodd has already served since his arrest in November, giving him a two-for-one credit for the number of days spent in jail, not including his time spent in segregation – which accounted for 23 days and was only considered for a one-to-one credit.
Once released, Trodd will be placed on a two-year probation period, which will include a stringent list of conditions and any counseling deemed necessary by his probation officer.

He also obstructed a peace officer by providing the wrong name when asked. In total, their were 10 new charges laid against the young man.
He pleaded guilty to being out past curfew and failing to carry a copy of his recognizance, and not guilty to failing to keep the peace, carrying a concealed weapon, being in possession of a weapon, and obstructing a peace officer of his duty. The remaining four charges were withdrawn by Crown attorney Roberta Bald.
