An Alberta woman whose bizarre reaction during a traffic stop was caught on a dashcam video will not go to jail despite convictions for assaulting a peace officer and resisting arrest.

Simona Tibu, 42, received a one-year suspended sentence Wednesday and was ordered to obey a list of conditions including having no contact with the arresting officer Sgt. Robert Behiels and his family, or go within a 10-block radius of his home.

Sgt. Robert Behiels said the case has weighed heavily on him and his family. (CBC) Should she follow the conditions, she would be not be sentenced on the offences.

Judge Gordon Yake called Tibu's accusations that Behiels tried to sexually assault her "despicable" and "untrue."

He noted she has never apologized for her "bizarre behaviour," and for endangering Behiels' life.

"This offender has been the subject of significant publicity, some of it generated by herself. This is the factor that causes me the most concern," he said.

"I find it requires the offender has a public record of conviction," he said, rejecting the defence's request for a conditional discharge.

Following the hearing, Behiels said the case has weighed heavily on him and his family for almost two years.

"I think it was a just decision," he said. "What Ms. Tibu did, she brought on herself."

Tried biting officer; grabbed at his groin

In August 2013 Tibu was stopped for speeding on Highway 21 near Camrose.

For more than eight minutes, she tried persistently to escape from the sheriff by biting him and grabbing his groin, Camrose provincial court heard Wednesday.

Yake noted Tibu had no prior criminal record and appeared to be a good person prior to the incident.

Crown prosecutor Doug Taylor said the lack of respect shown law enforcement officers "should be alarming to anyone." (CBC) Tibu has been licensed to practice as a dentist in Canada in 2006.

She has a history of psychological and emotional difficulties starting as early as 2010, the court was told.

While she is not diagnosed with any mental health disorder, a forensic psychologist reported her medical files reveal problems with anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The report puts her at a low risk for future violence, provided she continues to address her issues with "continued psychological intervention."

Crown prosecutor Doug Taylor called the case the "least appropriate ... ever for a discharge," noting Tibu has shown no remorse nor has she apologized to Behiels and is even appealing the speeding ticket.

"This case is a sad representation of a very protracted lack of respect for law enforcement," he said following the sentencing hearing.

"We're seeing this more and more," he said as he pointed to two recent murders of law enforcement officers in the Edmonton area, RCMP Const. David Wynn and EPS Const. Daniel Woodall. "This should be alarming to anyone."

Nonetheless Taylor praised the judge's decision.

"I think the judge gave a very fit, proper and above fair sentence in this case."
