A Caledon man has been sentenced for random assaults, including on a woman and an elderly man, but will be released soon.
Caledon: A man named Jody Dowzell, just 26 years old, has been sentenced for some pretty shocking behavior. He was already in trouble when he decided to punch a woman and a 91-year-old man.
This all went down while he was waiting for sentencing on other charges. The police got called last May when a woman was attacked while sitting in her car. Dowzell knocked on her window, asked to borrow her car, and when she said no, he punched her in the face. Can you believe that?
After that, he ran off, but not before a witness saw him hit the elderly man too. The poor guy was just at home when Dowzell barged in and demanded to know if he had a car. Then he lashed out. It’s just wild how someone can act like that.
In court, they mentioned that Dowzell had been in a psychiatric facility, which might explain some of his actions, but it doesn’t excuse them. The judge was not impressed, especially since he had just been released on bail for another assault. She gave him eight months in total for these attacks, but he’ll be out soon because of time served.
To top it off, the judge also put restraining orders in place, so he can’t contact his victims for two years. It’s a sad situation all around, and it makes you wonder what’s going on with people these days.
