A Calgary man who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of Sgt. Andrew Harnett has been sentenced to five years in prison.
With credit for the time he’s already spent in custody, Amir Abdulrahman has a further three years and five months left to serve.
Abdulrahman, 20, was the passenger in an SUV that took off during a traffic stop on New Year’s Eve 2020, dragging the officer 400 metres before he was thrown into the path of an oncoming car.
Originally charged with first-degree murder, Abdulrahman pleaded guilty to manslaughter before Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Robert Hall in December.
