Dates have been set for a hearing that will determine whether Michael Jon Duperron will receive dangerous offender status.
A hearing on the Crown's dangerous offender application has been set for May 2 to 4, 2011 in North Battleford Provincial Court. Sentencing for Duperron will also happen at that time.
Duperron had earlier pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and a breach of long-term offender supervision in connection to the stabbing incident on the morning of Feb. 12 at the ABM of the Royal Bank in downtown North Battleford. A female victim was sent to hospital with non-life threatening injuries as a result of the stabbing.
Duperron was in court by video link from Saskatoon before Judge David Kaiser Thursday. During his brief appearance, Crown counsel informed the court that a dangerous offender assessment report is now complete.
That report is to be used as evidence during the dangerous offender hearing that will be taking place in May.
