SASKATOON – The majority of charges have been stayed against a Saskatoon man in a standoff last fall.
Jason Harry Heaton, who is 26, was sentenced on two counts of breaching release conditions, which equated to the time he served in custody since his arrest.
Nine other gun and drug related charges were stayed; the Crown did not provide a reason for the decision.
The charges stemmed from a seven-hour standoff in the 400-block of 3rd Avenue North on Oct. 2, 2013.
Heaton was with his 20-year-old girlfriend Kaitlyn Nicole Daniels when they refused to stop for police.
She pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and evading police and received 45 days in jail, a one-year driving ban and 10 months of probation with conditions including having no contact with Heaton.
The couple took off and a chase ensued, which led to the standoff.
According to police, both Heaton and Daniels surrendered peacefully.
