SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — A Saskatchewan man has been sentenced to three months in jail for trying to fake his death.
John Malcolm Ross, who is 44, pleaded guilty in Swift Current court Tuesday to public mischief and obstructing a police officer.
RCMP Sgt. Scott Hunter says Ross told court that he believed if police thought he was dead, he would avoid prosecution on outstanding charges in Manitoba.
