Ryan Dickinson was handed a 17-month jail sentence – minus three and a half months credit for time served – on Thursday after he pleaded guilty to one count of participating in a riot and one count of breach of recognizance for violating a court-ordered curfew.
The 20-year-old was caught on video throwing a newspaper box at two unmarked police vehicles after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. When police arrived at the scene and fired tear gas, Mr. Dickinson fled to another location several blocks away where he again threw a newspaper box, this time at a store window.
