A Prince George man was sentenced Thursday to slightly more than two years in jail for a stabbing in downtown Prince George.

In all, Kyle Anthony Rutledge Garnot was issued a term in Prince George provincial court of two years and 1 1/2 months for the Sept. 1, 2016 incident in which police found a "distressed" man near the corner of Victoria Street and Ninth Avenue. He was rushed University Hospital of Northern BC where he was treated with life-threatening injuries.

Garnot, then 32 years old, turned himself into police about two weeks later after a warrant for his arrest was issued. He initially remained in custody for 23 days and then a further 422 after breaching his bail.
