Key ‘Freedom Convoy’ figure pleads guilty to counselling mischief, released from jail

Tyson “Freedom George” Billings emerged from the Ottawa courthouse Wednesday brandishing a Canada flag to a torrent of cheers and airhorns after pleading guilty to a charge related to the convoy protest that seized the city earlier this year.

Billings spent 116 days in jail before pleading guilty to counselling to commit mischief. Other charges, including intimidation, obstructing police, mischief and disobeying a court order, were withdrawn by the Crown.
