20-year-old David Wesley has been sentenced to 900 days in jail, after pleading guilty to robbery and aggravated assault charges.
These charges stem from an incident that occurred in November 2024, when Quesnel RCMP were called to a report of a man attempting to steal items from a hardware store in the 100 Block of Reid Street.
Police say a staff member tried to intervene and was injured when the man struck them with a hatchet and a large knife before fleeing the scene.
Wesley will receive credit for the time served in custody.
He will also be put on probation for 18 months and receive a 10-year firearm prohibition.
Wesley was charged with one count of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, which was stayed during court.
