Smithers man arrested after Xmas death A MAN that was the subject of a Canada-wide warrant was arrested Friday near Prince George in connection with a suspicious death in Smithers on Christmas day. Ronald Dennis Gibson, 38, was taken into custody by Prince George RCMP after officers raided a home on Corral road about six kilometres west of Prince George. Gibson was wanted for manslaughter in the Dec. 25 death of 45-year-old James Roy Olson, of Delta. RCMP said an officer had been at the home earlier that night on an unrelated matter and noticed a man re- sembling Gibson. 'The officer reviewed photos of the suspect at the Prince George detachment and returned with a number of officers. Gibson, who had been described as “extremely dangerous” was taken into custody without difficulty, police said. He was to make a court appearance in Prince George Monday pending transfer to Smithers. The arrest warrant stemmed from an incident at a downtown Smithers home at 7 a.m. Christmas Day. Police and paramedics had been called there in re- sponse to a report of an injured man. Olson had collapsed at the scene and was transported to the Bulkley Valley District Hospital where he was treated by doctors, He died later that evening while being transferred to Kamloops. Olson was a former Smithers resident visiting home for the holidays. The cause of Olson’s death has not been released. ‘Neurosurgeon’ con man roams province THE CON artist who swept a Hazelton woman off her feet with promises of mar- riage and stories of his wealth and career as a pe- diatric neurosurgeon in Texas has been making tracks around B.C. According: to Hazelton RCMP Constable Kevin Cyr, reports have. surfaced which suggest the man who represented himself as David Coangelo has also appeared at a Williams Lake bar, this time as David Carson. “He drinks a lot,” said Constable Cyr. “The bar owner told us that the man had offered to buy the bar. He offered the same story about being a pediatric neurosurgeon in Texas.” The man was also seen in Houston around Nov.27, but this time he told a quite different story. “He called himself David Bell,” said Cyr, who would not reveal any information about the per- son or persons that “Coangelo” engaged with in Houston. “This time, he said was originally a Canadian who'd lived in Texas prior to serving time in a Cali- fornia, jail, from, which he’d just been released. He said he was down and out and needing money.” Police hope a compari- son of the man’s finger- prints with those stored in national databases of fingerprinted criminals will reveal clues about his identity — and make it possible to issue an arrest warrant, possibly on charges of fraud. If anything turns up from the database, police will examine ten hours of video surveillance tape from a Terrace hotel] where the man is known to have stayed in late November. Until a database search elicits evidence of prior convictions, Cyr said, “Coangelo” remains mete- ly a “person of interest.” “Coangelo” is Cauca- sian, about 45 years old, six feet tall, and 210 pounds. His short’ brown hair is receding and gray- ing, and he bears a circu- lar shaped scar around his left eye and a bump on his left cheek bone. sete as the Cana i[| TERRACE POWER i! 8 SAIL SQUADRON This is a picture of the graduates and instructors of the Terrace Power and Sail Squadran‘s basic boating course from last fall, The course is 33 hours total classroom time, run one night per week for 11 weeks, Successful students receive the Canadian Coast Guard Pleasure craft operator's card, as well ian Power and Sail Squadron basic Great Holiday Fares are here again.
