18 months probation.
That was the sentence handed down to a Quesnel man who was charged following a standoff with police.
24-year old Colten Wyatt Roy pleaded guilty to charges of uttering threats and possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose.
A count of assault was stayed.
Quesnel RCMP were called to a residence in the 48-hundred block of 10 Mile Lake Road back in December for a report of a man assaulting a 24-year old woman.
RCMP say they negotiated with the man for two and a half hours before he finally agreed to lay down a knife and surrender.
Police say the woman suffered minor injuries during the incident.
