A local man charged after a woman was robbed at gunpoint in Red Deer late last year will spend time behind bars.

It was on November 11, 2016 that a woman in West Park was robbed at gunpoint while she was exiting her vehicle. Suspects were identified after a man and woman were caught using the victim’s credit card at a convenience store later that afternoon.

Michael Lamontagne, 48, was arrested in Airdrie two weeks later. At the time he was also wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for parole violations.

He appeared in Red Deer court on Friday to speak to charges including armed robbery with a firearm, possession of a weapon contrary to a court order, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and fraud under $5000.

Lamontagne was sentenced to four months in jail and given a $100 fine.

It’s 40 days in jail for a man charged after he was arrested in a stolen car with a gun and drugs.

It was just before 1 p.m. on Sept. 27 when the man and a woman were arrested in a Dodge Neon reported stolen from Red Deer. Officers seized a firearm, crack cocaine, pills and marijuana from the car.

Police had located the stolen car in Delburne earlier Tuesday morning, tracking it into Red Deer. Police waited until the vehicle was safely parked in a lot on Gaetz Avenue and 58 Street before arresting the male driver and female passenger without incident.

Jonathan Logan Donnelly, 33, was sentenced Monday in Red Deer court to 40 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property, breach of conditions, and possession of an illegal substance. Several other counts against him were dropped.

Danelle Amber Rickett, 30, was sentenced last to 30 days in jail and 18 months’ probation after entering guilty pleas last October.
