麻豆AV

A warrant has been issued for one of Okanagan鈥檚 most notable anti-lock down protest organizers, David Lindsay.

Lindsay faces two charges relating to an incident on Aug. 19, 2021, when Lindsay allegedly assaulted a Paladin Security guard and an Interior Health manager.

The 麻豆AV man was scheduled to appear in Provincial Court on Feb. 17 but reportedly failed to show, which led a judge to issue a warrant for Lindsay鈥檚 arrest.

He had appeared in court on Dec. 31 to apply for a vacancy to his bail conditions.

Lindsay also faces charges out of Penticton for failing to wear a face-covering indoors in a public space, as well as for alleged abusive or belligerent behaviour, stemming from a Dec. 18, 2020, incident.

The avid anti-lock down protester is no stranger to the courts. He has appeared in the 麻豆AV Law Courts 30 times since 2005.

He was declared a vexatious litigant in 2006 and has argued several strange cases, including that he is not a 鈥減erson鈥� under the Income Tax Act and should not have to file income tax returns.

As for his COVID-19 protests, Lindsay has been handed multiple fines worth several thousand dollars by the 麻豆AV RCMP. The protests often targeted Interior Health facilities and schools. He also organizes weekly protests at 麻豆AV鈥檚 Stuart Park.
