A Saskatoon woman, whose altercation with a security guard was captured in a widely-shared video, made a tearful apology in court Wednesday morning.
Annette Custer apologized to security guard Cameron McMillan in a Saskatoon Provincial Courtroom, more than two years after their physical altercation was recorded and posted online.
The video — recorded on April 14, 2021 outside a Saskatoon FreshCo — shows McMillan on top of Custer, attempting to detain her for stealing food.
In June, Custer was found guilty of assault and theft in connection with the incident.
Judge Doug Agnew ruled McMillan acted within his rights, making a legal citizen’s arrest.
Agnew said McMillan was entitled to use reasonable force to detain Custer until a police officer arrived.
As a result of the video, McMillan was subject to thousands of comments online and criticism from some local leaders. He was fired from his job and has his security license was revoked. McMillan's license has since been restored.
