A Saskatoon man accused of kidnapping a friend and trying to extort money from the victim's mom has been sentenced to a year in jail. On Tuesday, Dominic Dean Bodnarchuk pleaded guilty to extortion, illegal possession of a knife and possession of crystal meth.

Bodnarchuk, 30, was accused of kidnapping a friend, Richard Lewis, in March 2005 and holding him for ransom. Earlier Monday, Lewis's mother testified she received several threatening phone calls from a man indicating that her son's fingers would be chopped off one by one if she didn't hand over $250.

For his part Bodnarchuk admits to demanding money. His story, however, is it was for payment owing on a television set.

I can see where the confusion steams from - I often mistake "Philips" for "Finger." Damn you Chicken Philips.
