The prolific offender is back in court, charged with robbery, extortion, kidnapping and the confinement of two people in Lake Country from Feb. 10 to Feb. 16.

The Crown is seeking a 10-year sentence for a man who was fleeing from police when he smashed into a paper carrier who was standing on a boulevard in Kelowna.

The circumstances of the crime are not in doubt. A car ran a Kelowna RCMP roadblock in December 2013. During the following high-speed police pursuit the suspect vehicle struck a passerby.
