Beating up his mother has cost a 27-year-old Kamloops man four months of freedom.
Jaycee Folden pleaded guilty to a string of charges, including assault and obstructing police, in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday.
Court heard he became involved in an argument with his mother in her Kamloops home on Jan. 29.
Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said Folden punched her twice in the arm, knocking her down, before delivering three more blows to her arm and back.
“He told her she was lucky she was his mother, otherwise he would have hit her in the head,” Balison said.
Two months later, Folden was arrested after giving a fake name to police investigating a report of a fight in North Kamloops.
He also ran away from officers, but was located a short time later in a business on Fortune Drive.
Folden has been in custody since March 27. “I just want to change my ways in the past, move forward and make better decisions,” he said.
Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison sentenced Folden to 120 days in jail for the assault and another 74 days for additional charges of obstruction, breach and failing to appear in court.
Folden was also placed on a one-year probation term with an order barring him from having any contact with his mother except with the consent of his probation officer.
