Skylar Dalyk was supposed to enter guilty pleas in the Ontario Court of Justice this week to some of the 19 charges he was facing.

That did not happen as Dalyk, now 33, was just admitted into the Jubillee Centre’s residential treatment program, his lawyer, Denis Michel, told the court.
“He was admitted as of today,” the lawyer advised Justice Jean-Gilles Lebel.
With Dalyk’s treatment discharge date being June 6, the pleas of guilt and sentencing would have to wait for the time being, said Michel.
As a result, Dalyk will have a new pleas of guilty and sentencing date set in Ontario assignment court on May 24.
The 19 charges Dalyk is facing include two counts of breach of probation, three counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, two counts of theft under $5,000, break, enter and commit an indictable offence, and possession of property obtained by crime.

Stabbing tears into Sudbury-area families
Dalyk is no stranger to the courts.
On Jan. 27, 2016, Dalyk, then 26, was given a penitentiary sentence of 5.5 years in the stabbing death of Timothy Lamothe, 29, in Chelmsford on Dec. 12, 2013.
About four months earlier, a Superior Court jury found Dalyk not guilty of second-degree murder, but guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
In the Crown’s theory presented to the seven-man, five-woman jury at the start of the trial, Dalyk had a long-standing drug debt with Lamothe.
In an effort to collect, Lamothe surprised Dalyk at the Algoma Tavern in Chelmsford on the evening of Dec. 12, 2013.
Lamothe proceeded to chase Dalyk, who stabbed him twice about 8:50 p.m.
Court heard Lamothe was unarmed.
Dalyk was arrested about seven hours later when he turned himself in to police.
Since Dalyk had a considerable amount of pre-trial custody credit, he ended up with about 30 months or two-and-a-half years left to serve with his sentence.
