Patrick Judge will be in B.C. Provincial Court in Vancouver today (Wednesday) on charges of participating in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot.

The 25-year-old Port Moody resident is facing one count of participating in a riot, one count of break and enter and two counts of mischief.

Judge is alleged to have thrown a newspaper box through the window of a clothing store and was later spotted vandalizing a Mini Cooper parked in the 500-block of W. Georgia Street, before attempting to light a couch on fire.

Later that night, he is alleged to have been seen committing a break-and-enter at a drug store.

In April, a young offender from Coquitlam was charged with participating in a riot and mischief while another was charged with participating in a riot and break and enter. The two cannot be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Ryan Dickinson, another Coquitlam resident who was on probation at the time of the riot, received a 17-month jail sentence for his part in the events that took place after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Vancouver Police Department has recommended 674 criminal charges against 225 suspected rioters. So far 23 people have pleaded guilty.
