Tucker James Botheras was sentenced Wednesday, July 24 to two years in jail followed by three years probation for attacking a man with a baseball bat.
Botheras, born in 1992, was arrested on the afternoon of Oct. 27, 2023 after Prince George RCMP were called to an assault in progress in front of a 1200-block 2nd Avenue business.
Botheras was apprehended within 15 minutes, police said at the time. The attack was also recorded on a nearby security camera.
The victim suffered serious head injuries and continued to experience severe short-term memory loss.
Botheras is known to police and at the time of the attack was on probation for a June 2022 assault.
He was also issued a 10-year firearms prohibition and ordered to provide a DNA sample.
He had remained in custody since he was arrested on the most recent count, a total of 270 days.
