A 48-year-old man has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and 12 months probation after pleading guilty to one count each of Robbery and Unlawful Confinement.
A charge of Uttering Threats is also stayed for Quesnel resident Robert John Paine.
Paine is also prohibited from owning a weapon for the next decade.
He was arrested back in March after RCMP received a report that a suspect had entered a victim’s vehicle and demanded cash.
Police say the suspect, after taking the money, then forced the motorist to drive him to another location where he then exited the vehicle allowing the victim to leave and seek help.
RCMP say the motorist was not physically injured, but was shaken up.
