A 28-year-old man from central Alberta is facing 14 charges following his arrest in connection to an investigation this September in Sylvan Lake.

An arrest warrant was eventually put out for 28-year-old Tyson Ethier, a resident of Jarvis Bay.

“On Oct. 18, 2022, Sylvan Lake and Blackfalds, with the assistance of Red Deer GIS, the Emergency Response Team and Red Deer Police Dog Services, located and arrested Tyson Ethier,” RCMP say. “Subsequent to his arrest, a search warrant was obtained for Ethier’s truck.”
