A Summerland man previously found guilty of assaulting a man is back in court over new charges.
Garret Cole Sedawie was charged on April 9 with assault, uttering threats and theft under $5,000 related to an incident in Summerland on Nov. 1, 2024, according to Penticton court records.
It is the latest case filed against Sedawie, as other charges against him make their way through the system.
A warrant had been issued for his arrest in March of 2025 after he failed to show up for sentencing for assaulting a man in Summerland 2021.
His lawyer is set to appear in June to find out if the pre-sentencing report for an unrelated 2021 assault with a weapon and mischief case is ready ahead of sentencing.
An appearance is also scheduled on May 1, to fix a date for his next appearance for multiple charges of mischief under $5,000, a charge of mischief endangering life, flight from police and uttering threats to kill an animal related to an incident on Oct. 7, 2023, in Summerland.
The two cases he is currently awaiting sentencing for had seen him go on rants while on the stand about conspiracies between his victim, family members, a lawyer and the police.
That led to a review of his fitness to stand trial in one case, of which he was found fit to stand and was later also found guilty, and in the second the judge ordering a psychiatric report on top of the standard pre-sentencing report.
