No jail time for woman accused of threatening police with a sword in Williams Lake

A woman accused of threatening a police officer with a sword in Williams Lake has been sentenced in provincial court.

Two other charges, assault with a weapon and uttering threats, were stayed.

Sparks also received a five year firearms prohibition.
