Court heard that a man who the caller believed was either impaired or suffering from a mental health crisis, was causing the disturbance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Court heard Smith, who was carrying a shotgun, approached the man causing the disturbance and the two had some type of interaction. Video evidence depicted Smith following the man before a gunshot was heard and the sound of an empty shotgun shell could be heard hitting the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis accused was acting as a bit of a vigilante\u2026and fired a warning shot,\u201d said Crown Lyndsay Jeanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The police arrived and ordered Smth to put down his weapon, which he did, court heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeanes said there were women and children present at the scene when Smith fired the shot into the air and it\u2019s lucky no one was hurt or killed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said the two men did not know each other prior to the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defense lawyer Jason Herbert said Smith has no criminal record and was acting as more of a public assistant than a vigilante. Herbert said the man causing the disturbance was walking to his pickup truck down the road and seemed quite \u201cout of it\u201d. Herbert said the man approached Smith\u2019s residence and aggressively confronted him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herbert said the man causing the disturbance was suffering from the effects of PTSD, it was later determined. He said Smith and the man have spoken since the incident and the man expressed his gratitude to Smith for the way he handled the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith was sentenced to 90 days under house arrest, a five-year weapon ban and&nbsp;12 months probation.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Lake of Bays man was in Bracebridge court recently in relation to a frightening incident that occurred last year.
