38-year-old former Algoma Steel employee was arrested 25 times last year for various crimes, including nearly two dozen thefts from west-end liquor store
Kiel Martin racked up so many charges in 2023 he easily could have been facing a five-year stretch in a federal penitentiary.
An off-duty Ontario Provincial Police officer arrested him. Martin tried to pull away, repeatedly telling the cop to "f–k off." There were so many charge sheets before the court that the totality of the sentence could have been more than five years — so Martin "certainly has benefited." His lawyer Adrienne Hagan said her client was in a "downward spiral in his life" at the time of the offences.
The judge noted Martin's pleas had resolved everything and if there had been trials it would have taken considerable court resources at a time when there are backlogs in the system.
