A construction worker in Alberta, Canada has pleaded guilty to several charges after admitting that he drunkenly kidnapped his boss and took him to a strip club. According to Corey Eugene Galandy, who was given a three-year sentence Wednesday, his boss collectively owed him and other coworkers thousands of dollars, prompting the encounter. Apparently in this particular part of Canada, when your employer owes you cash, you don't take it to the labor board, you abduct him at a gas station, force him to take money out of an ATM, and then immediately go out for a night of titillation and gallivanting.

The incident in question took place in December 2012, when the two men met up at a 7-Eleven, where Galandy was given $50 that his boss, Daniel Gillespie, owed him. Following this, the two drove to a coworker's place where Galandy's girlfriend and infant child were waiting, and then Galandy proceeded to punch his boss in the head four times. Galandy then forced Gillespie to carry tools out of his truck and headbutted him a couple of times in the process, punching Gillespie a few more times when he tried to get away.

After taking his boss to an ATM to get $400 to pay back the debt, Galandy apparently told Gillespie, "You're not such a bad guy." Gillespie bought some whisky and cigarettes, and in true Alberta fashion, the two made their way to a strip club, where they were denied at the door for not having ID. Undeterred, they made their way to another strip club—of which there is no shortage of in Texas North—where they got extremely fucking wasted.

The night ended around 12:45 AM when both men were kicked out of the strip club and Galandy backed his truck into a vehicle in the club's parking lot. When Galandy was arrested, Gillespie decided to tell the cops that he'd been kidnapped.

According to defense lawyer Laurie Wood, however, Gillespie had multiple chances to bounce: "Mr. Gillespie was left on his own numerous times while Mr. Galandy gallivanted about the strip club," she told the provincial court.

Galandy apparently didn't have much to add when he addressed the court during his sentencing, saying only, "I think everything that was said was pretty straightforward."
