Assault, flight from police sentences to be handed down in late August

A man on trial in two different cases will learn his sentence later this summer.

Dale Babiy appeared in Vernon court in April, where he pleaded guilty to one count of flight from police, one count of dangerous driving, and one count of possession of stolen property valued at $5,000 or more.

The charges stemmed from his arrest in December of 2024 when police reportedly had to deploy a spike strip to stop Babiy in a stolen vehicle, then had to chase him down on foot after he tried to flee.

Babiy was also wanted for charges of assault with a weapon and uttering threats, of which he was found guilty this past spring.
