Normally the Olds-Didsbury sees planes like this coming in. But earlier this month, RCMP arrested a man in a suspicious vehicle — a holiday trailer — at the facility.

A man facing 14 charges in connection with a suspicious vehicle at the Olds-Didsbury Airport was scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 10.

Derrik Sagmoen, 36, of Calgary was arrested by Olds RCMP after police received a tip Jan. 6 from a local resident who was suspicious about a truck with a holiday trailer parked at the airport.

Police went to the trailer, found Sagmoen inside and questioned him. When asked for his name, police say Sagmoen gave them a name that turned out to be false.

He was arrested after police found out there were warrants out for his arrest.

They also discovered the truck had a stolen licence plate on it and that Sagmoen was alleged to have breached several conditions of his release from custody on other matters.

As a result of this incident, Sagmoen faces the following charges:

  • Fraudulently impersonating another person with intent.
  • Possession of stolen property under $5,000.
  • Six counts of failing to comply with a condition of recognizance.
  • Two counts of failing to obey a probation order.
  • Parking a trailer on private property without a licence plate.
  • Having a driver's licence issued to someone else.
  • Displaying an improperly authorized licence plate.
  • Having an uninsured motor vehicle on a highway.

    Sagmoen was brought before a justice of the peace for a judicial interim release hearing and was remanded in custody to appear in Calgary provincial court on Jan. 10.
