Lethbridge, AB- A southern Alberta man who sold a woman’s two horses for slaughter without her knowledge has been fined after pleading guilty to a lesser charge.

Wayne Jubb, 78, was charged last year with trafficking stolen property and uttering forged documents.

He pleaded guilty in Lethbridge provincial court to one count of mischief by destroying or damaging property.

The other charges were stayed.

The judge fined Jubb $750 and ordered him to pay $8,000 in restitution based on a joint submission by the Crown and defence.

Jubb never cashed the $799 cheque he received for selling the horses named Coco and Cinderella.
