A day after he was arrested, a man well known to the police and courts was sentenced Monday to 118 days in jail and one year probation for breaking into a local business.

Robert Richard Prettie, 43, was issued the term in Prince George provincial court after pleading guilty to three counts in relation to the incident, which began just after 11 p.m. on Sunday when RCMP were called a 400-block Queensway commercial business.

In a search for the suspect, RCMP determined that a car mirror was broken off and used to smash open a window. Clothes were taken and a short time later, Prettie was found wearing those same items.
