Man jailed in Ipad theft

The second man who stole an Ipad from a disabled woman at a Skytrain station has been sentenced to one year in jail.

Cassie Campbell tried to board an elevator at Metrotown Skytrain station last may when two men grabbed her Ipad and ran off.

Campbell, who was in a wheelchair, has cerebral palsy and needs the Ipad to communicate.

John Eugene Lagimodiere was arrested a few days later, and pleaded guilty to theft under five-thousand dollars, for which he was sentenced to one day in custody and two years’ probation.

Much later, David Clayton Ned was also arrested, and pleaded guilty.

He has now been sentenced to one year in jail, including time served, and two years’ probation.

He’s also been banned from Skytrain property.  

As for Campbell, her Ipad was soon replaced after the crime.
