Gregory Koturbash, provincial court judge in Penticton today sentenced Ronald Arthur Teneycke to time served plus 133 more days in Kamloops jail and detailed probation terms for a three year period – after the 51 year old Okanagan Falls man pled guilty to two charges.

On August 14,  Teneycke was arrested by police after security personnel at the Lakeside Casino in Penticton informed them of an incident in the parking lot that was video taped.

That tape show a teenaged girl and Teneycke “snorting” meth. A ban on publication was ordered today on facts about the girl.

Teneycke was at the time of this incident – covered by recognisance terms which he breached on a separate issue.

So the two charges – possession of a controlled substance and breach of recognisance were the issued dealt with today.

Crown Counsel John Swanson stated during the hour long hearing that Teneycke is a predator, an untreated sexual offender with a record of violence in his assaults. Swanson stated Teneycke had been mentally assessed 6 times with all indications that he would return to his old ways.

Defence Attorney Jim Pennington told the court normally a conviction of simple drug possession would get a fine not a six month jail term. Pennington said the amount of the drug was .4 grams – not the amount stated by the Crown to the Judge.

Ronald Teneycke told the court he lived with his mother in Okanagan Falls and she has been given less than 3 months to live with a diagnosis of terminal cancer. He apologized to another court official Judge Gail Sinclair for breaching conditions given to him.

He apologized to his family as well. He said he hoped for an intermittent sentence so that he could be close to his mother and allow for him to develop a better relationship with the police.

Judge Koturbash accepted a Stay or Proceedings on an 810.2 Protection of the Public application that has never been heard – as the new probation order was deemed strong enough by the Crown.

The sentence involves a curfew of 9pm to 6am, no contact with previous victims or persons under the age of 18, no alcohol or illicit drugs and no weapons
