A man who was the subject of investigations by police across southern Alberta last fall was sentenced to 90 days in jail on top of the 2.5 years he was sentenced to last week.

On Sept. 24, 2020, nearly $20,000 in stolen property was located in Medicine Hat following an investigation by city and Taber police along with RCMP.

Police arrested two men at the time and issued a public notice they had a warrant out for Shane Poole, 31.

On Sept. 27, 2020, Taber police received a call of a suspicious vehicle in the town and located a stolen truck out of Bow Island.

Police arrested Poole at the scene with multiple stolen identifications, cheques and tools.

On Dec. 21, Poole was arrested again by Taber police after the stolen truck out of Redcliff he was driving crashed after officers tried to conduct a traffic stop.

The court heard the man has significant addiction issues.

In total, Poole was sentenced to a two-year-and-nine-month federal jail sentence for a range of property-related offences.
