A Tisdale teen will spend 16 months in open custody after a gun incident at the Melfort Fair last July.

The 15-year-old was convicted after his trial at Melfort Provincial Court on Thursday, Feb. 8.

After the incident, Melfort RCMP issued a media release which said officers seized a gun after an altercation between a male and three females on July 20. The gun turned out to be an imitation firearm.

Along with his open custody sentence, the youth will receive eight months’ supervision. He is prohibited from having firearms.
