A man has been sentenced to 14 months in jail for an "unusual, if not bizarre" crime spree that ended in his arrest at a coffee shop a block away from Vancouver Police Department headquarters. It started when Brian Ross Phillips, 59, broke into an East Vancouver home and physically assaulted a woman inside on Sept. 21, 2015. He ran off after she phoned 911, then stole a nearby delivery van, which the owner had left running. He then walked to an apartment in East Vancouver and drank more with friends. He was found guilty of all three charges on April 4 and sentenced on Nov. 2.
