The man involved in a dangerous semi-tractor pursuit from Red Deer to Airdrie earlier this year will serve time behind bars.
Brandon Moench, 35-years-old and of no fixed address, was sentenced on Thursday to 30 months in jail, and was also handed a 10-year firearms prohibition.
He was charged with two counts of failing to remain at the scene of an accident, operation of a motor vehicle while being pursued by police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assault of a peace officer, possession of stolen property over $5,000, two counts of failing to comply with a recognizance, failing to comply with a demand by a peace officer and uttering threats to cause bodily harm.
RCMP say the incident began on March 23 around 9:45 p.m. when Airdrie detacment were alerted to a semi failing to stop for police. They say it was travelling south on the QEII from near Didsbury and there was a concern for public safety due to the manner it was being driven.
