A University of B.C. student convicted of looting two pairs of pants during the Stanley Cup riot was sentenced to one day in jail after being found guilty of breaching conditions.
A Vancouver Provincial Court judge issued Burnett secondary grad Camille Cacnio, 24, a jail term after it was determined shed stayed out past her court-ordered curfew when she was pulled over during a random roadside check Jan. 5.
However, Cacnio will be free to go after receiving credit for time served when she was initially arrested for the breach in January.
Cacnio was given a suspected sentence last September for her role in the 2011 riot. As part of her conditions, she was ordered to abide by an overnight curfew for the first year of her sentence.
In January, a car Cacnio was driving was pulled over at a roadside check in Vancouver.
There, Cacnio lied to an officer several times about whether she had been drinking that evening she blew 0.009, well below the 0.08 legal limit and said she was heading to Burnaby to pick up anxiety medication. Cacnio was then arrested and her car towed.
Last month, a court heard from an officer who said Cacnio was swearing at her boyfriend at the time of the arrest, while Cacnio claimed she did not receive proper medical attention in jail.
Shortly after the riot, Cacnio was diagnosed with conditions of depression and anxiety, the court was told during her trial earlier this year.
Before Cacnio took the stand, her lawyer, Jason Tarnow, said his client's "life fell apart the morning after the riot."
Attempting to explain why she broke her curfew on the night of Jan. 5, 2013, Cacnio said she had a sudden anxiety attack while dining out with her boyfriend that night.
Cacnio said she decided it would be best to drive to her cousin's house in Burnaby to get medication she had left there.
Cacnio, who lived in Richmond until recently, was the first female Stanley Cup rioter to be sentenced.
She was spared jail time after the original sentencing judge felt she had suffered enough at the hands of social media.
