Man gets prison time for dangerous driving in downtown Saskatoon

Within 25 seconds, officers knew that pursuing a stolen SUV in downtown Saskatoon wasn’t worth the chase. They didn’t know a gun and ammunition were inside.
The vehicle had sped up to approximately 100 kilometres per hour and ran a stop sign at 33rd Street and Spadina Crescent. It slowed down once police backed off.
Officers waited until the driver  — Michael Brent Laprise — abandoned the vehicle in the Saskatoon StarPhoenix parking lot just before midnight on Jan. 2
