On May 17, 2023, shortly after 7 a.m., Red Deer RCMP received a call from Alberta Sheriffs at the Red Deer provincial court house, who reported a female spray-painting the building.
While en route to the court house, Red Deer RCMP received a second call advising the female now had a knife and was making threats. Numerous RCMP members responded and located the female, who was arrested and taken into custody. No injuries were reported.
Charges are pending against a 42-year old individual, a resident of Red Deer, who remains in custody awaiting a judicial interim release hearing.
The Red Deer RCMP would like to thank the Alberta Sheriffs for their partnership and early intervention in this matter.
