A man who led police on a violent chase last summer that left a trail of damaged police cruisers and terrified witnesses is staying in jail.

Timothy Gunn was sentenced Wednesday in provincial court to two years less a day, two years probation and a five-year driving prohibition.

It all dates back to June 25, 2014.

Late that afternoon, Gunn drove around Saskatoon in a stolen truck, ramming cruisers and circling back on his pursuers. At different points, he drove directly at officers.

Police used their firearms to try and disable the truck.

The chase finally ended with police ramming the stolen truck. Gunn took off on foot and was caught by a police dog.
