An inmate who was serving at the Drumheller Institution, was sentenced to four months after pleading guilty to stabbing another inmate.
Alexander Kulba appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, January 21, from the Edmonton Maximum Security Institution. He pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm.
On August 19, 2021, at 6:35 p.m., staff became involved in an altercation between the accused and another inmate. Kulba did not comply, and pepper spray was deployed. The assault with a pair of scissors resulted in stab wounds to the abdomen and chest. The victim was treated in a hospital in Calgary and made a full recovery.
The defense indicated there were previous threats, and the fight began off camera.
The crown and defense agreed on a joint submission for a sentence of four months consecutive to the sentence Kulba is currently serving.
