Trouble for ex-MLA's son

The son of former Kelowna MLA Judy Tyabji is in more hot water.

Kasimir Tyabji-Sandana, 28, has been charged with assault stemming from an incident nearly three months ago in Powell River.

At the time, Tyabji-Sandana was out on bail after he was arrested and charged with importing fentanyl in July 2015. He is scheduled to stand trial on that charge in Calgary next September.

He was under house arrest, living with a family friend in Powell River.

The latest incident occurred at the government house of the Tla’amin Nation on June 9.

Tyabji-Sandana is alleged to have struck a person in the face.

He is to appear in court again next month in Powell River on the assault charge.

Judy Tyabji was the youngest MLA in B.C. history when she was elected to represent Okanagan East in 1991. She was 26 when she was elected.
