A man who was alleged to have rammed three police cars with a stolen truck was sentenced to 30 days in jail this week.

Paul Daniel Shaw was issued the terms in Prince George provincial court on Thursday for one count of possession of a break-in instrument and two counts of breach of an undertaking or recognizance.

Charges of theft over $5,000, failure to stop at the scene of an accident, possession of stolen property over $5,000, flight from a peace officer and dangerous driving were stayed.

When Shaw was arrested for the March 22 incident he was on foot and it was about four hours after the vehicle had been abandoned.
