The following is a statement from Commissioner Gibson’s attorney Bill Ouellette – Monday Afternoon: ” I was called this afternoon to represent Mr. Gibson shortly before his First Appearance Hearing this afternoon. Certain criminal allegations require a Judge to set a bond. Mr. Gibson was being held without bond. After the hearing and considering argument the Judge made the decision to release Mr. Gibson on his own recognizance not requiring any monetary bond. His arraignment will be on September 5, 2017 at which we will plead not guilty on his behalf. After all the facts have been fleshed out we firmly believe Mr. Gibson will be exonerated.”
