Darryt) Christopher Kirby was
fined $500 and. received six
months’ probation on Feb. fin
North Vancouver provincial court
in connection with the assault
charge.

According to a July 10, 1994,
News story, the charge stemmed

from an incident in which one of

two friends play-fighting near the
Avalon Hotel parking lot was hit
from behind with a bottle by a
third man.

The North Vancouver victim
recognized his assuilant as Kirby.
according to the North Vancouver
RCMP. The incident occurred at

2:30 a.m, as the friends were leav-
ing the hotel's L.A. Tavern Pub.

The police said the victim need-
ed five stitches to close his wound.

The previous month, a B.C.
Supreme court jury deliberated one
full day before acquitting Kirby of
the stabbing death of a Burnaby
resident, Darren James Ford.

Ford, 21, bled to death on a
Robson Street sidewalk after being
knifed on Nov. 14, 1992. Kirby’s
lawyer argued the charge involved
mistaken identity.

The probation Kirby received in
connection with his assault convic-
tion states that he must not be
found in the Avalon pub or on the
hotel’s premises.
