A Prince George man was sentenced Tuesday to a further 21 1/2 months in jail for his role in an incident at a local motel that left a man with a gunshot wound.

Harley Raymond Poole was issued the term in provincial court for one count of robbery with a firearm from the May 1 incident at the Queensway Court Motel.

Poole had remained in custody since his arrest three days after the incident for a total of 187 days.

In June, charges of attempted murder with a firearm and intentionally reckless discharge of a firearm against Poole were stayed.

Donald Justin Johnny Baker continues to face eight counts, including attempted murder, and remains in custody.

In September, city council unanimously upheld a decision by city staff to suspend the motel's business licence for six months effective Oct. 1.
