SARNIA - A Sarnia man who held a broken glass to his former girlfriend's neck behind the bar at the Point Edward casino was sentenced to almost four years in jail Tuesday.
Joshua Atkinson, 37, pleaded guilty in Sarnia court to assault with a weapon, forcible confinement and violating a non-communication order with the woman while in jail in March.
An OPP officer approached Atkinson, who had his arm around the woman's neck, after casino staff noticed odd behaviour.
Atkinson went behind the bar, walking back and forth with the woman.
A video recording the March 16 incident taken by a casino camera was played in court.
Atkinson broke a glass and held it to the woman's neck. She told the court when he broke the glass she'd been quite worried. At one point Atkinson said he should kill himself.
