A Prince George woman has been sentenced to one year in jail following a weapons seizure at a home in the 1500 block of Queensway in June.

Lacey Susan Gislason received the term Thursday in Prince George provincial court for possession of a firearm contrary to an order and possessing a prohibited weapon without licence.

Gislason also received a lifetime firearms prohibition.

Police seized a sawed-off .22 rifle and numerous rounds of ammunition, as well as a quantity of marijuana, methamphetamine and "unknown pills."

Two drug possession charges were stayed.

In August she was arrested again, this time on allegations of breaching her court-imposed conditions of release.

A similar suspicion arose in September, but before RCMP could take her into custody she disappeared.

Gislason eventually resurfaced in Winnipeg, where she turned herself into police in November two weeks after Prince George RCMP issued an arrest warrant and let media know she may be in the Manitoba city.

In December, she was sentenced to 14 days in jail for four counts of breach of an undertaking or a recognizance and to one day in jail for failing to appear pursuant to a notice, for which she had credit for 30 days time served prior to sentencing.
