A man who barricaded himself in his vehicle armed with a knife in the Walmart parking lot in Quesnel has been sentenced to some jail time.
35-year old Jessie Falkenham was arrested back in the early morning hours of April 27, 2026 after RCMP received a report of a man uttering threats.
Police say the suspect, who had fled from them earlier in the morning, had barricaded himself inside his vehicle.
He attempted to leave but RCMP were able to disable the vehicle.
The man then attempted to flee on foot but was quickly apprehended.
Falkenham was charged with resisting arrest.
That charge was stayed but he also pleaded guilty to a charge of killing or injuring an animal from an incident that happened the previous day.
He was sentenced to 57 days in jail and 18 months probation.
