A Red Deer County man arrested on drug and weapons charges was given 15-month conditional sentences in Wetaskiwin provincial court on Tuesday.
Jason Sagal, 39, was arrested in October 2011 by police investigating a West Park resident’s complaint that her boyfriend assaulted her. The woman told police on Oct. 23, 2011, that she feared for her safety because he had access to firearms.
Sagal was arrested two days later after being pulled over while driving inside city limits. A search was conducted at his home in a rural area outside of the city. Police previously said that a number of weapons were seized, including rifles, pellet guns, crossbows, a hunting bow and some knives, as well as ammunition and 7.65 kg of marijuana.
Sagal pleaded guilty to possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of prohibited firearm. He received a 15-month conditional sentence for each charge.
Charges of assault, uttering threats, three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm, and three counts of careless use and storage of a firearm were all withdrawn.
