EDMONTON — A judge has sentenced a busker to 18 months in jail for attacking a man he thought had swiped some of his change. Court heard Allen Dakota Cardinal was playing his guitar inside a light rail transit station in downtown Edmonton last April. Crier was dancing nearby with a friend who had dropped some money onto a blanket that Cardinal was using to collect donations. Court was told Crier picked up some of the money and gave it to his friend, who then returned it to the blanket. Crier, sitting in his wheelchair outside court, disputed that he had tried to take money from Cardinal.
