Man involved in bar brawl receives conditional discharge

Jul 8, 2025 | 5:59 PM

According to a Prince Albert provincial court judge, it’s a mystery how more people don’t die as a result of a street fight.

Judge Lane made the remark on Tuesday, prior to sentencing Jordan McDougall to a conditional discharge for his involvement in a brawl outside the Fuel Stop bar last year.

This means, if he can abide by a two year probation order that includes not attending any bar or liquor store (first six months only), and no contact with the victims or the co-accused, he won’t have a criminal record.

In total, five people were charged after the incident that sent two members of the security staff to hospital.

A video recording of the fight was posted to social media and viewed hundreds of times. At one point, a woman can be seen kicking a fallen staff member in the head. Another unknown man then slams the victim’s head into the ground.

It was noted in court that one of the men, to this day, experiences severe anxiety. The other man suffered nerve damage and is unsure about the long term effects.

Earlier this year McDougall faced trial and was found guilty of assault. As per facts heard in the courtroom, his actual involvement ended before the serious injuries occurred and he had initially gotten involved to protect a friend.

A pre-sentence report noted he is a very low risk to re-offend, has no criminal record and has tremendous family supports. He was also described as a very good citizen who simply made a very poor decision.

Judge Lane, noting the time spent by McDougall before the courts, cautioned as soon as the ball starts rolling in a fight, someone becomes responsible and if someone dies, anyone who is a party to the offence can be charged with murder.

“It only takes one punch to a part of the head,” he said.

As part of his probation order, McDougall must also complete 300 hours of community service, donate $2,000 to the victim services unit, and write apologies to the injured victims.

“Put your heart into the letter,” Lane encouraged McDougall. “That will go far in helping them recover from this.”

Three of the co-accused, Dustin Shier, Terrance Shier and Shantelle Bonik (Fizzard) all had their previous not guilty pleas expunged and new guilty pleas entered in Prince Albert Provincial Court on June 19.

All three are expected to return to court on August 21.

Another man, Jonathan Mah, is awaiting trial and is expected back in court on Sept. 8.

As per discussion heard in court on Tuesday, Mah and Bonik had no connection to the others but allegedly acted on an opportunity to get involved in the brawl.
