Two women charged after an Eckville area woman was assaulted at gunpoint last fall will face a preliminary hearing later this year.

It was just before 9 a.m. on Oct. 23, 2019 when Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to a rural property where two women had been dropped off by a man driving a stolen truck.

One of the owners of the rural property drove out to where the women were hiding in a ditch when one of them pulled her from her vehicle and began punching, kicking and threatening her while pointing a firearm at her face.

The suspects fled in the victim’s vehicle to Red Deer where they crashed into multiple vehicles in the city before being arrested.

Brianna Crookedlegs, 20, and Chelsea Crowley, 27, each faces nine charges including robbery and eight firearms-related counts. Crowley also faces five additional counts for breach of recognizance.
