“Aggravating factors were your criminal record, your history of alcoholism, and the serious results of the offence,” said the parole board.Clayton was convicted of a 2013 assault that happened during a night of drinking with his intimate partner.He was on bail at the time with the condition to stay away from booze.

“In 2017 you were convicted of uttering threats. During that offence, you were intoxicated and were threatening people outside of a thrift store when you were denied entry to the store,” said the parole board.
