Summary
- Mascary received a 4.5-year sentence for assaulting police officers.
- He stabbed an officer three times in the head and ear.
- Officer's injuries included memory loss and blurred vision.
Edva Mascary, 36, has been sentenced to 4½ years in prison for assaulting two police officers in Moncton. The incident occurred on the evening of August 14 last year when officers responded to a dispute at a Fairisle Drive home. Mascary resisted arrest, overpowered Const. Marc Antoine Latouche, and used a kitchen knife to stab the officer three times in the forehead and ear. He also assaulted Const. Alyssa Williams.
Mascary was given credit for 513 days spent in custody, leaving approximately three years to serve. During sentencing, Judge Claude Haché noted the significant impact on Const. Latouche, who reported memory loss and blurred vision, affecting his role as a father, husband, and officer. Const. Williams also experienced lasting effects from the incident. The judge rejected the defense's proposed sentence, emphasizing the need to condemn attacks on police officers.
