Mackinaw was previously scheduled for trial on those counts on Nov. 22, 2022, but the trial was dismissed.

It was on Feb. 8, 2022, when RCMP had said they were investigating an incident where a suspect was driving a vehicle on the O’Chiese First Nation, when the suspect and a passenger had a verbal confrontation. The suspect allegedly threatened the passenger — the owner of the vehicle — with a weapon.

At about 8 p.m. the following day, RCMP in Rocky Mountain House responded to a 911 call about a male who had reportedly been stabbed on the Sunchild Road. That man was taken to hospital by STARS.

Police say the suspect was arrested at a later time, after warrants had been issued.
