The offender pleaded guilty to dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop after an accident, and flight from a police officer following a high-speed pursuit where he rammed police vehicles.
The Crown sought a 9-month custodial sentence, while the defence sought an 8-month conditional sentence.
The court considered the offender's Indigenous background, his positive steps toward rehabilitation, and the 17 months he spent on strict bail conditions.
The court imposed a 6-month conditional sentence, followed by two years of probation and a two-year driving prohibition, finding it consistent with the principles of restraint, denunciation, and deterrence.
