Another Stanley Cup rioter is heading to prison

A Vancouver Island man who participated in last year’s Stanley Cup riot is going jail.

Timothy Lau of Comox will spend four months behind bars for his part in the riot and will be under probation for two years.

The 22 year old must also pay a fifteen-hundred-dollar fine.

Crown prosecutors said during the trial that Lau played a role in damaging and burning six cars.

In addition, pictures of Lau at the sites of three vandalized businesses circulated on social media.

The crown was seeking a jail sentence of six to nine months.
