Sentencing

Conditional sentence order for man charged after ramming police vehicle

Jul 17, 2025 | 12:09 PM

A man who was charged after a stolen truck hit a police vehicle in Hudson Bay has received his sentence.

James Whitehead, 22, received a conditional sentence order, which means he will not be incarcerated but will serve his sentence in the community under strict conditions.

His co-accused, 30-year-old Sabrina Kelly, received a similar sentence earlier this year.

Hudson Bay RCMP were called about a stolen truck in the community last November.

When officers approached the vehicle with emergency lights engaged, the truck accelerated and struck the front passenger side of the police cruiser.
