A judge in Windsor sentenced Shermere Coulston-Hawkins, a 24-year-old American, to 18 months for intentionally running down a woman after a violent altercation during their date, despite the Crown seeking up to eight years. The judge emphasized the need for community denunciation and deterrence while also noting mitigating factors, leading to Coulston-Hawkins’ deportation to the U.S. after serving his time.
