RCMP from Coronation have charged a man with two counts of assaulting police officers following a narcotics arrest in Consort on Oct. 3.
Dylan Lee Spencer Ryan, 20, appeared in Red Deer provincial court via closed-circuit TV from the Red Deer Remand Centre on Thursday.
Ryan is charged with multiple offences, including possession of cannabis marijuana exceeding 30 grams, possession of cocaine for trafficking, assaulting a police officer while resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.
Represented by Red Deer lawyer Paul Morigeau, Ryan reserved his plea to allow more time to review information provided by the Crown prosecutors about the charges against him.
He will remain in custody pending his return to court in Red Deer on Thursday, after which the files will be moved back to Coronation.
