Two Coutts protesters plead guilty to firearms-related offences
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Two people who were charged in connection to events at the Coutts border protest in early 2022 have entered guilty pleas.
In Lethbridge Court of King’s Bench on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, Christopher Lysak and Jerry Morin were freed from custody following the pleas.
Morin pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to traffic firearms while Lysak admitted to possession of a loaded firearm in an unauthorized place.
The pair have been behind bars since being arrested in February 2022, so with credit for time already served, they were free to go.
