Amir Abdulrahman sentenced to five years for death of Calgary police officer

The passenger in the SUV which dragged Calgary police Sgt. Andrew Harnett to his death during a routine New Year’s Eve traffic stop in 2020 was handed a five-year prison term Friday.

Amir Abdulrahman, 20, pleaded guilty in December to a reduced charge of manslaughter in connection with the New Year’s Eve death of Harnett, who was dragged more than 400 metres along the side of a vehicle he’d pulled over for inadequate headlights. Abdulrahman had been charged with first-degree murder.
