Fort Frances Man Convicted

(An incident involving OPP last November forced the closure of streets around the area)

The man involved in a lengthy stand-off with OPP in Fort Frances last November will be spending a little more time in custody.

Richard Edward Kabatay was sentenced to eight months in jail after being convicted last week on a charge of assault with a weapon.

An initial charge of attempted murder was dropped.

Another man was stabbed during the November 27 incident.

Kabatay has been in Fort Frances jail since.
