So "A Family Tradition for 131 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, December 2, 1997 - 19 McArthur will fight dangerous offender application in court From page 1 seeking approval for a psy- chiatric assessment. If that 1s successful, the assess- ment will be done and a report presented to the provincial Attorney General's office, where a gun and shot him just above the left knee. Other bank staff eventually opened the vault. After putting about $50,000 into a white bag, the robbers fled on foot along the sidewalk in front of the plaza. Four Durham Region police officers and a bystander were wounded in the ensuing gun fire. The weapons used in the shoot- ings and the money have not been recovered. The elder McArthur has a lengthy history of violent crimes and escaping cus- tody, once from a maximum security facility. He was on parole for an earlier rob- bery at the time of the Port Perry incidents. At one point during Monday's proceedings, Mr. Hill referred to him as "intelligent and resource- ful." As it was during the lengthy trial earlier this year, security in the base- ment court room on Monday was very strict. Members of the Durham Police Tactical Unit stood guard inside the room and all visitors were and frisked with a metal detec- tor. decision will then be made on whether the dangerous offender application can proceed. If it reaches that stage, the full hearing in front of Justice LaForme will not start until the New Year, said Mr. Hill outside the court room Monday after- noon. Victim impact state- ments were entered into the record on Monday. Mr. Hill said he will be calling several witnesses this week, including a psy- chometrist with the Corrections Ministry and a psychiatrist. The new regulations demanding prior approval for a psychiatric assess- ment came into effect this summer, which is why McArthur's dangerous offender hearing was delayed until now. Courts in Canada have declared only about 100 persons as dangerous offenders, including three in Durham Region before this case. Those declared dangerous offenders have their cases reviewed auto- matically after two years, and every three years after that. The convictions against McArthur stem from the bloody robbery at the Bank A Central Ontario Pontiac Buick GMC Dealers" Presentation FORTIFIED WITH IRON, 14,V6 AND V8.
