Marvin Antoniuk will go to jail for 23.5 months and follow it up with three years of probation with strict conditions — including a 10-year mandatory firearms prohibition and no contact with his father, Marvin Sr., and brother, Myles.
Antoniuk, 49, was sentenced Friday, Dec. 13 in Duncan Provincial Court.
Initially charged with attempted murder, Antoniuk pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after he shot his father, Marvin Antoniuk Sr., in the heart with an arrow from his compound bow on Jan. 27 of this year.
The attack came during an alcohol fuelled incident whilst the family was watching TV at their home on Maple Bay Road.
Antoniuk was sentenced to three years less time served, which resulted in the sentence of just under two years.
The Crown had been seeking a five-year prison term.
