Kimberley man gets one year for assault on business owner
- On June 30, 2025, Colin Harrison was handed a sentence of one year behind bars followed by two years of supervised probation for the assault of Kimberley business owner Michelle Cubin that took place in September 2024.
- The assault followed a dispute over Cubin firing Harrison's wife from her business a week prior, prompting Harrison to attack Cubin at her downtown Platzl shop.
- During the attack, Harrison repeatedly punched Cubin's head and face, kneeled on her chest, and continued hitting her until bystanders gathered and an employee intervened.
- Judge Underwood called the attack an unprovoked, vigilante act done in broad daylight and noted, "Harrison hurt Kimberley's reputation," emphasizing denunciation and deterrence.
- The sentence restricts Harrison from coming within 250 metres of Cubin's locations, and Cubin said, "I'm happy," adding the ruling helps her feel safer and more at peace.
