35-year-old Gary Cartwright was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in state prison for various crimes including shooting at a vehicle, evading arrest, DUI, and falsely imprisoning his girlfriend.

According to a Butte County D.A.'s Office press release, it happened July 10th when Cartwright drove from a Berry Creek marijuana grow to the home of his girlfriend in Oroville where he told her to get in his car. He then shot at an unoccupied car on Wyandotte Avenue, hitting it once. He would later tell authorities that the owner of the car owed him money. Cartwright took off when he saw officers, leading them on a high speed chase. Cartwright stopped briefly at a gas station where police say he pushed his girlfriend out of the car. Officers finally stopped Cartwright and found him in possession of illegal firearms. Police say he was also under the influence.
