(Grand Forks, ND) -- A man who ran from the scene of a crash in Grand Forks last year has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Police tried to pull over Juan Carlos Gutierrez because his car's trunk was open, but he ended up crashing on UND property and running away on foot.  

The crash damaged a median and a shelter-in-place alert was issued while officers searched for Gutierrez.
