One of the Okanagan鈥檚 most notable anti-lockdown protest organizers David Lindsay is facing two counts of assault.

The charges relate to an incident on Aug. 19, 2021, where Lindsay allegedly assaulted a Paladin Security guard and an Interior Health manager. Lindsay is due in court on Dec. 31, and again on Feb. 17, 2022.

Lindsay is no stranger to the courts. He has appeared in the 91大黄鸭 Law Courts 30 times since 2005. He was declared a vexatious litigant in 2006 and has argued several strange cases, including that he is not a 鈥減erson鈥� under the Income Tax Act and should not have to file income tax returns. Speaking to Global News in 2010, Lindsay said he had appeared in court 鈥渙ver 300 times鈥�.

As for his COVID-19 protests, Lindsay has been handed multiple fines worth several thousand dollars by the 91大黄鸭 RCMP. The protests often targetted Interior Health facilities and schools. He also organizes weekly protests at 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Stuart Park.
