TL:DR

So, this dude Andrew Hardenstine in South Okanagan had all charges YEETED 'cause the cops went a lil' too hard with the taser. Judge said the arrest was sus and the cops used way too much force. Also, Indigenous healer in Penticton got a sentencing date for assault, but the vibe is off 'cause a lot of charges got dropped.

The Deets

Okay, listen up, fam. This is kinda wild. Andrew Hardenstine, this dude from South Okanagan, just had ALL the charges against him dropped. Why? 'Cause apparently, the RCMP was doing the most during his arrest back in April 2024. We're talking excessive force, bruh.

Like, for real, a Supreme Court Justice, Eric Gottardi, was straight up like, "Nah, that arrest was bogus." Said it was an unlawful and arbitrary stop, all just to figure out if he was even in the vehicle. But here's the real tea: the judge said the cops tazed Hardenstine TEN TIMES in under three minutes. TEN. That's gotta sting, literally. Because of that, all the evidence they found is now invalid.

Now, don't get it twisted, this Hardenstine guy ain't no saint. He was already serving time for driving offenses, and his record goes way back. But still, the judge was like, "Cops can't just be out here wildin'."

And speaking of sus situations, Donald Wayne Ashley, this Indigenous healer from Penticton, got a sentencing date for August 29, 2025, for an assault charge. Originally, he was facing way more serious charges for allegedly sexually assaulting six women during healing sessions. But get this, a bunch of those charges got dropped during the trial. Now, the Penticton Indian Band Chief is NOT feeling this verdict and is mad disappointed. To add insult to injury, the Syilx Chiefs have straight-up banished Ashley from all Syilx Okanagan Nation land. That's gotta be a major L.
