HA prospect has domestic assault charges stayed

Castanet is reporting that "Two domestic assault charges against a Kelowna Hells Angels' prospect have been stayed by the Crown, on the same day he was set to face trial. Last August, 43-year-old Jason Townsend was charged with assault and assault by choking, following an Aug. 7 incident on the 500 block of Yates Road. The RCMP said Townsend knew the female victim, and the charges were filed as an intimate partner violence case. Townsend, who's been out of custody on bail, was set to face a two-day trial on the charges on Monday, but the Crown issued a stay of proceedings instead." Another dirty deal done dirt cheap. Just like in Ali's murder trial.
