Derek Daigneault was sentenced after pleading guilty in January to fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, aggravated battery, criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and theft. A judge ordered him to serve 111 months, or just over nine years, in prison.
The case stems from a police chase from April 2023. Police were following a vehicle that was reported stolen out of Texas and crashed into two other vehicles.
