Proactive Policing

Three facing drug charges after Innisfail arrests

Jul 24, 2019 | 4:10 PM

Proactive enforcement efforts by RCMP in Blackfalds and Innisfail have led to the arrest of three people over the past week.

On July 18, Innisfail and Blackfalds Mounties were monitoring what they describe as a problem area near Cannon Park in Innisfail, when a person believed to have arrest warrants was observed.

As a result, a traffic stop was conducted by Innisfail members and a woman arrested on outstanding warrants for trafficking in stolen property and use of a forged document from an incident in March, 2018 at Gasoline Alley.

Summer Kreiser, 36, of Red Deer County has been charged with possession of methamphetamine, along with two violations under the Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act for possession of liquor and possession of cannabis, both within reach of the driver.

Kreiser was released by a Justice of the Peace to appear in Red Deer Provincial court on August 8th, 2019.
