A Bigfork teen is headed to boot camp after committing a handful of crimes that include a car chase, writing bad checks, going on a burglary spree and stealing a vehicle.

Harland Robert Jordan, 19, was sentenced by Flathead District Judge Heidi Ulbricht to 15 years with the Department of Corrections, with 12 years suspended.

“Harland has been screened and accepted to the Treasure State Correctional Training Center,” Jordan’s attorney, Vicki Frazier, said.

The training center is the state’s boot-camp facility.

Jordan was ordered to pay more than $5,000 in restitution for his various crimes, which began with a drunken, high-speed car chase in July 2015 that ended when spike strips were deployed. He was given a deferred sentence in the case, but over the next six months Jordan went on to burglarize an Egan Slough home and Kalispell auto business, took a four-wheeler from Three Mile Drive and was involved in a bad check-writing scheme.

When Ulbricht let him out of jail at Christmas time until sentencing, Jordan cut his GPS monitoring bracelet and ran off for a few days before he was caught and taken back to jail.
