 | Notorious Kelowna criminal John Michael Aronson, 37, was handed a 17-month sentence for two firearms offences in July 2023. With credit for time he spent in custody since his arrest in July 2022 he was released. The prolific criminal has racked up 46 convictions over 17 years. The judge noted Aronson was Metis. Aronson, in a statement to the court, vowed once again to be a changed man.
Aronson was previously arrested on charges of robbery and firearms. His criminal record stretches on long before those charges, with many incidents being high-profile and high-risk. He gained attention in 2018 after he was shot during an arrest at Orchard Park Mall. “Almost dying was an eye-opener for me,” Aronson said in court Sept. 23, 2019. "You won't see me here again'. Later the same day he raced down Highway 97 high on drugs. |   |
 | Cops busted him after he crashed his car, shutting down the road for hours. He suffered a fractured skull and broke his arm, shoulder, femur, pelvis, knee and ankle. He was seriously injured and spent two months in hospital before being confined to a wheelchair for months. Aronson already had more than 30 prior convictions for crimes including driving while suspended as well as multiple assault and resisting arrest charges. Aronson had been on the run for 3 days after cutting off his monitoring device while under court order to live at a halfway house in Surrey. |

Johnny Blaze couldn't stay clean for 60 days. He was busted again in September for breach of probation and driving while disqualified. Local Conservative MP Tracy Gray raised Aronson in the House of Commons to criticize what she called Canada’s “catch and release” bail system.
