A 41-year-old New South Wales man has been sentenced to at least a year behind bars after a siege with police caused a Far South Coast town to go into lockdown.
Samuel Robert Doolin told his mother he loved her before he was sentenced in Bega Local Court today to three years in prison with a non-parole period of 12 months, after pleading guilty to a string of charges relating to the siege in Cobargo in June.
