court verdict

A woman has been sentenced for her role in a break and enter of a home on Chief Lake Road.

Andrea Erika Johnson, 40, was sentenced Wednesday in Prince George provincial court to a six-month conditional sentence and 21 months probation for break and enter to commit an indictable offence and mischief $5,000 or under for the August 2013 incident.

Last month, Dorian Shane McCrea, 45, was sentenced to a further six months in jail and two years probation.

He has remained in custody since he was arrested at the scene after the homeowner called RCMP at about 3 a.m. to say some people with flashlights were filling up a pickup truck with items from his property.

In what police called a "textbook example" of how such a situation should be handled, the homeowner stayed on the line as RCMP made their way to the scene.

RCMP found McCrea and Johnson at the scene and just about to leave.

McCrea jumped out of the truck while it was moving and attempted unsuccessfully to flee on foot while the Johnson remained in the truck, which rolled into two police cruisers, according to RCMP.
