Man jailed six months on drug charges

One trial is over and two more are pending for a man accused of ramming a police car in a bid to avoid capture by Red Deer City RCMP last November.

Stephen Gibbon Dwayne Gibbon, 34, was wanted on warrants for drug-related charges, including trafficking and possession for trafficking.

Gibbon was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to the drug charges.

He now has two more matters scheduled for trial later this year in Red Deer provincial court.

He will stand trial on June 17 on charges arising from his Nov. 15 arrest, including breaching release conditions, dangerous driving, fleeing police, hit and run and resisting arrest.

A third trial is scheduled for July 2 on charge of robbery.
