Additional jail time issued for ‘Green Man’

The Salmon Arm man who gained notoriety in the Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riots, has had 75 days of jail time added to his sentence.

The Salmon Arm man who gained notoriety as the “Green Man” in the Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riots, has had an additional 75 days of jail time added to his five-month sentence.

The new jail time relates to a string of charges based out of  Calgary, where Comber also participated in a post-hockey game altercation.

These charges included assault of a peace officer, mischief, theft, possession of a controlled substance and failing to attend court.

These charges date to 2004 in Calgary following a Calgary Flames game. Following his arrest for the Vancouver charges, Calgary police initiated the judicial proceedings against him, after Comber skipped out on the Alberta court dates.

Comber, 38, sported green body paint and a mohawk haircut when he was alleged to have lit a stuffed bear on fire and thrown it onto an overturned truck during the riot, which took place after the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals on June 15, 2011.

Comber was arrested in Salmon Arm in April 2012 after an investigation by the Vancouver Integrated Riot Investigation Team.
