A sharp-eyed witness has helped put a prolific offender behind bars for a further 642 days.
Corey David Chalmers, who has a lengthy criminal record, was issued the term on Monday, in part on a count of possessing a restricted firearm from a Sept. 17, 2021 arrest.
At the time, Prince George RCMP said they received a call from someone who heard a loud argument and believed they saw something suspicious being loaded into the trunk of a nearby car.
Police arrested three people and, 12 days after the apprehensions, Joshua Darrick Suvee-Forsythe was sentenced to 76 days in jail. (Suvee-Forsythe has since been arrested and charged on counts related to a November 29 discovery of weapons during a traffic stop and remains in custody.)
Chalmers was also issued a lifetime firearms prohibition and ordered to provide a DNA sample.
The 642 days also applies to two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking from an August 28, 2021 arrest in Prince George.
Chalmers was also prohibited from driving for one year and fined $500 for driving while prohibited under the Motor Vehicle Act from a Feb. 26, 2022 incident.
And Chalmers was sentenced to time served for uttering threats, committed in Montney on March 13, 2022. He had been in custody for 301 days prior to sentencing.
