The man convicted in the 1989 hit-and-run death of Olympic swimmer Victor Davis is expected to appear in court today in connection with the death of a man at a LaSalle bar last September.
Glen Crossley, 46, turned himself in to police yesterday following a police warrant for his arrest.
Crossley is accused of killing 70-year-old Albert Arsenault September 17 at the Station 77 bar. Police first thought the death was an accident but an autopsy revealed it was a violent death.
Crossley was given a 10-month sentence in 1992 for causing the death of Olympic medallist Victor Davis in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue.
Davis's father, Mel Davis, said he learned about the news about Crossley from a reporter.
"My term was, 'They finally got the son of a bitch,' " said Davis from his home in Guelph.
Davis said hearing Crossley's name back in the news prompted a flood of memories.
"It brings up a lot of anger because there was Victor, he was in his prime, he had just retired from competitive swimming and he was going to start a new life. And he ended up on the street in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, lying in the street," Davis told CJAD 800 News.
Davis said he is still angry and bitter over how Crossley served only a few months of his sentence. The retiree said this is not a case of forgive and forget.
"We had our own memories, Victor and I, along with Greg, that's his brother. No, I was, ...what else can I say," said Davis.
"You lose a son,....that's a kick in the teeth really."
Davis doesn't know what he'd do if he saw Crossley today.
"I would hesitate to say what I would do. Walk away, turn a cheek, spit in his face, punch him, who knows," said Davis.
"And now he's causing more grief for another family."
