A man pleaded guilty July 2 in Prince George Provincial Court to breaching probation.
Judge David Simpkin sentenced Ricky Kalen Alexander Sam to 14 days house arrest after an off-duty RCMP officer noticed him at a Fort St. James Petro-Canada station on Feb. 1.
The officer recognized Sam from previous interactions and notified another officer.
Sam, described as wearing a red hoodie and white gloves while riding a black bike, was under a bail order from a judge to not go within 20 kilometres of Fort St. James.
When police found him on Highway 27, Sam was wearing sunglasses and a mask over his face with his hoodie up. An officer ordered him to remove the mask and sunglasses before he was arrested.
Simpkin’s conditional sentence order to the 39-year-old Indigenous man requires him to stay away from Fort St. James and live under round-the-clock house arrest.
