A man who has lived in various Central Alberta communities will spend 30 months in prison after pleading guilty to possession of stolen property and fraud.
Dathanial “Nathan” Weir was initially charged in Rimbey in 2009 in relation to property that belongs to Midfield Supply, a local oilfield company.
Weir, 34, was apprehended in B.C. in July of this year on a warrant issued when he didn’t show up for his original trial on the charges.
He was sentenced late in August to serve 30 months each, concurrently, for one count of possession of stolen property at a value exceeding $5,000 and one count of obtaining goods through false pretences.
Additional charges were withdrawn.
