Six-month sentence after police vehicle rammed
One of the two people charged after a November incident where a police vehicle was rammed near DeBolt has been given a six-month jail sentence.
Alberta Justice says Cody Marcel Young pleaded guilty to charges of possession of stolen property over $5000, failure to stop/evade police, and theft under $5000 at his first court appearance December 3 in Grande Prairie.
On November 18, police tried to stop a stolen truck at 108 Street and 100 Avenue. It took off through a nearby field.
Police located the same truck later that day near DeBolt. The suspects escaped by hitting a police vehicle.
RCMP later found a stolen car weaving into the traffic coming the other way on Highway 43. Two people were arrested as they tried to get into slow moving vehicles.
The second person charged, Angie Marie Duncan, is due in court on December 19.
