Plea scheduled
An Innisfail man facing charges of break and enter with intent, forcible confinement, choking to overcome resistance, assault, assaulting a peace officer, resisting arrest and other offences is scheduled to enter his plea and elect which court he is to be tried in on Nov. 8 in Airdrie.
The man, who isn't being named due to a publication ban protecting the identity of the victim, was charged after his alleged victim passed a note to a Good Samaritan at CrossIron Mills on March 28. Mall security was contacted. The security guard called the police and located the victim and suspect, taking them to the security office.
An RCMP press release said the accused allegedly assaulted the woman in front of the police and fought the officers during arrest.
The man has put over his election and plea several times since the charges were laid.
Seven days jail

Lloyd Louis Gerard of Calgary was charged after he was pulled over Oct. 27 at about 9 p.m. by members of the Innisfail Integrated Traffic Unit.
Gerard received a total of seven days in jail as a sentence.
