Fuel Stop brawl

Instigator of Fuel Stop brawl gets community-based sentence 

Feb 27, 2026 | 4:01 PM

The man who began the chain of events that led to a brawl outside the Fuel Stop Bar two years ago has received a community-based sentence for his actions, but will have a criminal record.  

Dustin Shier will serve his 12-month conditional sentence in the community; the same sentence handed down to Terrance Shier, Dustin’s father and Shantel Fizzard (Bonik). 

Shier was convicted of one count of assault causing bodily harm, simple assault and one count of breaching his release conditions.  

While Shier was commended by Provincial Court Judge Lubyk for his decision to abstain from alcohol since the incident, was also told that sentences must be proportional.  

The younger Shier has no criminal record and is a business owner but was the instigator of the incident when he tried to get into the bar without paying the $5 cover charge.

Instigator of Fuel Stop brawl gets community-based sentence

1h ago

Some pushing and shoving followed and evolved into a fight involving over half a dozen people.

Shier’s father, who has a criminal record, and Fizzard who also as a record, both received the same sentence of a 12-month community sentence.  

As part of the sentence, Shier was given a six-hour curfew between midnight and 6 a.m., he cannot leave Saskatchewan without the permission of his probation officer, and cannot be in a place that serves alcohol unless he has permission. This exemption is based on the fact that he occasionally appears at charity events where alcohol is served.  

He has to be assessed for addictions, take anger management courses, have no contact with the three victims of the assault, and cannot go to the Fuel Stop. He is to serve 100 hours of community service and pay a $300 victim service fee by Dec. 31.  

A DNA sample also must be submitted to the national data bank, a condition required by law.  

Also involved in the fight was Jordan McDougall, who received a conditional discharge which means if he can abide by a two-year probation order that includes not attending any bar or liquor store (first six months only), and have no contact with the victims or the co-accused, he won’t have a criminal record.
