NEW GLASGOW – A third person has been sentenced in a violent home invasion in Egerton last January that left one man beaten and another stabbed.

Allan Michael Davidson, 21, of Pictou County pleaded guilty and was sentenced Thursday in New Glasgow provincial court to charges of home invasion, two aggravated assaults against the two male victims and two common assaults against the two female victims. He was also sentenced on breach of probation charges.

He’s been sentenced to six years and 10 months in a federal institution, minus a 280-day credit for the time he’s spent in custody since the incident occurred.

Davidson was one of five people who went to a home at 60 Bell’s Lane shortly before 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 7. The five broke down the door to the trailer, burst inside and assaulted the four people inside.

They later fled the scene and Mounties used the canine unit to track them to a garage across the street from the crime scene.

On Wednesday, his co-accused David Blair Tobin-Chisholm, 22, of Trenton, was handed down the same charge in New Glasgow court after changing his plea to guilty.

A third co-accused, Melissa Dawn Chisholm, 18, was found guilty following her trial in March and sentenced to three years and seven months in a federal institution.

Two other co-accused, Sylvia Marie Bowden and Aaron Dale Rundle, still face trials.
