A 51-year-old man who triggered a lockdown at three eastern P.E.I. health-care facilities has been handed a six-month conditional sentence.<\/p>\n
Eric Frank Campbell pleaded guilty on Feb. 5 to two charges related to making death threats over the phone against a health-care professional working in Kings County, as well as breaching the terms of his probation.<\/p>\n
The incident on Jan. 15 triggered a Code Silver at Kings County Memorial Hospital, Montague Health Centre and Bailey Drive Health Clinic, resulting in the three facilities being briefly locked down.<\/p>\n
At his sentencing hearing on Monday, the lawyer for the Crown told the court Campbell was upset with Health P.E.I. and the provincial health-care system because he didn\u2019t have a family doctor and couldn\u2019t get a prescription for his diagnosed mental illness.<\/p>\n
Campbell, who appeared in court via video from jail, apologized for his actions and agreed to write apology letters to those impacted.<\/p>\n
Both the lawyers for the Crown and defense agreed to a six-month conditional sentence, with the Crown saying rehabilitation would not be best achieved in jail.<\/p>\n
As part of his sentence, Campbell has to comply with a number of strict conditions, including:<\/p>\n
Remaining inside his home unless he is given permission in advance by a supervisor to be away from his residence.Not having firearms, ammunition and explosive substances in his possession.Not directly or indirectly contacting the health-care professional he threatened or the Health P.E.I. employees who received the threats.<\/p>\n
He’s also been ordered to undergo a mental health assessment or counselling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":468766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[49,48,84,392],"class_list":{"0":"post-468765","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-healthcare"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
