A Swan River man has been sentenced after pleading guilty to a number of charges related to a late 2023 incident in The Pas.

Late on the evening of November 22nd, RCMP received a report of a stolen truck in the town.

Thanks to a GPS unit inside the vehicle, police were able to track it down, and arrest the driver, but when the suspect was being placed in cells, he allegedly assaulted a Mountie.

24-year-old Allan Knight pled guilty to a number of charges in court on February 29th, including Assaulting a Peace Officer, Impaired Driving, and Possession of a stolen vehicle. 

Two other charges against him were stayed by the Crown Prosecutor.

He was sentenced to time served, as well as a one-year driving prohibition, along with having to pay a one-thousand dollar fine.
