A Williams Lake man, charged in connection with a dramatic police incident, has been sentenced in provincial court in Prince George.

32-year old Jesse Juillette received an 89-day jail sentence to be served intermittently as well as two years probation after pleading guilty to four charges…Possession of Stolen Property, Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Flight from Police and Assault with intent to Resist Arrest.

The charges were in connection with an incident back in May of 2018.

Eventually, RCMP say it was stopped when it came into contact with a police cruiser.

Three suspects fled on foot but were quickly apprehended.

A charge against one of the other suspects was stayed, while Alexis Chin pled guilty to a breach of undertaking.
