A Prince George man was sentenced Wednesday to a further 89 days in jail for leading police on a chase that ended in Valemount.
Jesse Luke Jack Juillette, 31, was issued the term in Prince George provincial court for dangerous driving under the Criminal Code for the Sept. 28, 2018 incident.
According to an RCMP statement issued at the time, Juillette was wanted on outstanding warrants when at about 2 p.m., police attempted to pull over the car he was driving in the 2700 block of Spruce St.
He took off and police called off the pursuit in the name of public safety.
But his car was seen heading east on First Avenue and by 5 p.m. RCMP had set up a road block on Highway 16 west of McBride. But not only did Juillette refuse to stop, he nearly ran over an RCMP officer, police said.
But RCMP received a tip he was at a motel in Valemount, 285 kilometres east of Prince George, and at 10 p.m. police converged on the spot. He was arrested by the Prince George RCMP street crew with help from the Valemount RCMP, McBride RCMP, police dog services, RCMP air services, and the North District RCMP emergency response team.
Juillette had remained in custody since he was arrested on that day.
He was wanted in relation to a Sept. 15, 2018 robbery and assault in Prince George along with outstanding warrants out of Williams Lake related to a May 4 break and enter and allegation of dangerous driving.
He had also faced charges from a Jan. 23, 2018 armed robbery in Prince George. Those counts were stayed in June.
Sentences on the outstanding counts were also wrapped up on Wednesday. In summary, he was prohibited from driving for three years, sentenced to two years probation and issued a lifetime firearms prohibition.
