A man police in Quesnel described as a chronic repeat offender has been sentenced in provincial court.
31-year old Christopher McDonagh, charged with dangerous driving, flight from police, and resisting arrest among other things, was sentenced to 364 days in jail and is prohibited from driving for three years.
Mcdonagh was taken into custody back in December after a report of a stolen vehicle.
RCMP say they attempted to apprehend the driver who then accelerated forward striking a police vehicle before fleeing the scene at a high rate of speed through a crowded parking lot.
The vehicle was later reported to have gone off road in Kersley and the driver had fled on foot.
Police Dog Services out of Prince George attended and the suspect was eventually located barricaded in a shed.
RCMP said at the time that the suspect was well known to them and was recently released on conditions for a similar offence that required electronic monitoring.
He was found to be breaching his conditions as he had removed his ankle monitoring device after being released.
