Judgment day for car thief

Feb 24, 2011 | 8:28 AM

A man who led Prince Albert police on a high speed chase through the city last week has been sentenced.

Robert Edward Naytowhow, 26, pleaded guilty to the charges he faced, following last Thursday’s incident.

It began with a stolen vehicle report and escalated into a short pursuit through city streets. Naytowhow ran stop signs and drove through school zones at high speeds.

He was charged with a handful of offences, including possession of stolen property, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, hit and run and failure to stop for police.

He has been sentenced to two years plus a day in jail. He also has a two-year driving prohibition.
