The man arrested for armed robbery at the Husky gas station in Dauphin on June 24th has been sentenced.

18-year-old Michael Chartrand will be going to jail for 5 years.

On the evening of the incident, Chartrand entered the store carrying a long-barrelled gun and demanded money.

He then struck two employees with the gun, took cash and cigarettes, and fled on foot to a nearby apartment building and entered one of the units.

Officers evacuated tenants from nearby apartments and contained the area while a negotiator made contact with him.

Early in the morning he surrendered to the RCMP and was arrested.

The employees at the gas station had sustained minor injuries.
