Choking domestic assault
One Innisfail man is now in custody and facing assault charges after an alleged domestic assault occurred on Feb. 9.
Cpl. Jeff Hildebrandt said the man was charged after police were called to a 49 Avenue residence after a choking assault was reported.
Five firearms were seized after unregistered guns were found in the closet. Hildebrandt said the weapons were not used in the alleged assault.
Cigarette robbery
A man is accused of stealing two cartons of cigarettes from the Express 24 in Penhold on Jan. 24.
The accused took the cigarettes while the cashier had her back turned. The incident occurred at 6:42 a.m. The theft was caught on video.
Police have since identified the man and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

"Pay attention to the ditches when you're driving," Hildebrandt reminded drivers.

Two break and enters occurred between Feb. 6 and 13.
One break-in was in the rural area of Innisfail while the other was in town.
