A Haines Junction man received a post-Father's Day chastisement Monday after pleading guilty to breaching his probation and bail orders following two alcohol-related incidents in a hotel lobby and a pub in Whitehorse this year.

A Yukon territorial court judge handed defendant Charlie Jackson both a scolding and a sentence for possession of a weapon and drinking alcohol, each contrary to the conditions of his release.

Jackson, 34, received 60 days in jail, time he has already served in pre-sentence custody.

"This being the day after Father's Day, I think you need to look to the positive role models in your community, like your father,” Judge James Plemel told Jackson.

The judge encouraged Jackson, a father of three, to take advantage of the supports in his community, including addictions treatment.

Before and after the proceeding, Jackson exchanged looks with his father, Cecil, a court worker in Ross River who was sitting in the gallery.

"I gave up drinking in 1980 and I haven't had a drink since,” Cecil told the Star following the sentencing. "A person's got to travel from the mind to the heart to do that.

"A lot of human beings walk around with a hole in their heart,” he said.

"There's a lot of treatment to be done, and I hope he goes through it.

"I'm too old to be running after him. I love him, you know.”

The younger Jackson admitted he was "having problems being institutionalized,” but highlighted the counselling he has been receiving at the Whitehorse Correctional Centre.

"So I can be social and stuff ... without having to be so secluded.

"I've been going through a lot of growing.”

Jackson's children are aged six, 10 and 13. Two are under the care of his father.

Jackson was out on probation on April 27 when RCMP officers were called to the lobby of a local hotel.

They arrived to find Jackson in "a highly intoxicated state” wielding a collapsable baton and a wood-handled ice pick, Crown lawyer Keith Parkkari told the court.

Staff asked Jackson, dressed in black with a toque and a scarf pulled over his face, to leave the lobby, telling police he was "uncooperative.”

Defence lawyer Malcolm Campbell said his client had been waiting to meet his father outside the hotel, which is why he was sporting the toque and scarf.

The ice pick he often used to break up ice for beverages, while the baton was his former partner's and had been packed in his suitcase accidentally, Campbell said.

RCMP officers took Jackson into custody the next day on charges of weapons possession for a dangerous purpose and violating probation orders on similar grounds.

A stay of proceedings has been placed on the weapons possession charges, effectively dropping them, though they can be resurrected within one year.

Less than two weeks after being released on bail, Jackson was picked up along Front Street by the RCMP. He matched the description of one of four men causing trouble at the Roadhouse Bar and Grill on the evening of June 9.

A duty officer spotted an identifying teardrop tattoo near his eye and took Jackson, "who was noted to be heavily intoxicated,” into custody at around 8 p.m., Parkkari said.

Jackson was charged with breaching his recognizance by consuming alcohol.

The Crown said Jackson had been in the hospital with stomach issues and was on medication, including valium, and does not remember the Roadhouse incident.

The judge gave Jackson 30 days consecutive for each of the two offences.

"Maybe you didn't intend any harm, but it's the combination of things,” Plemel said. "I take it you weren't intending any harm, and I'm sentencing you on that basis.”

He called the penalty "quite reasonable.”

Campbell noted that Jackson, a member of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, had returned from Montreal, where he had been living for some time, to take responsibility for his actions and turn himself in to police on prior offences.

"He wanted to come back and to play a larger role in the lives of his children,” Campbell said.

Their mother died recently, he noted.

Jackson was convicted of assault with a weapon in 2011 and has a history of numerous bail and probation breaches, the judge noted.
