Jason Pierre appeared in Sechelt provincial court on Tuesday and immediately pled guilty to two counts of being unlawfully in a dwelling house and was sentenced to the prison term. According to Sunshine Coast RCMP Const. Bryson Hill, Pierre is now in jail and will remain in jail until his sentence is served.
