The woman who was the passenger in the vehicle driven by Brydon Whitstone, who was killed by police Saturday night, is heading to jail for the next 23 months.
Amanda Wahobin, 28, was sentenced to 15 months in jail for a robbery charge stemming from Sept. 5 of this year. She also admitted to a breach of curfew stemming from Jan. 30 of this year while she was serving a conditional sentence order, which still had roughly 233 days left to run.
The third charge was possession of property obtained by crime, which was laid in connection to the events on Oct. 21.
However, there was a stay of proceedings entered on that charge by the Crown.
Crown prosecutor Oryn Holm explained to reporters following the court proceedings that the amount of evidence on file did not justify the Crown proceeding on that particular count at this time. Given that two other guilty pleas were entered, a stay was justified as being in the public interest for that particular charge.
The other two charges took up the bulk of the proceedings in provincial court Tuesday before Judge Lorna Dyck.
In connection to the breach of curfew charge, Judge Dyck revoked Wahobin’s conditional sentence order, which means Wahobin must serve the approximately eight months remaining on the CSO in jail.
The 15 months in jail for robbery will run consecutive to that.
Wahobin also was ordered to give a DNA sample and was handed a 10-year firearms prohibition.
The judge also urged that Wahobin obtain programming to address her addictions issues during her time in jail. Wahobin had a history of struggling with addictions issues prior to her latest arrest.
Wahobin, who was in court Tuesday for the sentencing, had been in custody since being treated in hospital following the Oct. 21 incident.
She had been a passenger in the vehicle involved in a police pursuit in North Battleford on Saturday night. The pursuit ended with the suspect vehicle ramming a police vehicle and becoming immobilized near 15th Avenue and 105th Street.
A firearm was discharged at that scene by an RCMP member and Brydon Whitstone of Onion Lake, 22, was pronounced dead en route to hospital.
That incident is now under investigation by Regina Police Service.
