Trial scheduled for man accused of striking police vehicle in stolen car

Dec 14, 2023 | 1:35 PM

A trial date has been scheduled for one of two people charged after a stolen vehicle struck a police car in central Alberta this fall.

Brandon William Wallner, 34, of Red Deer, is scheduled for trial in Red Deer Court of Justice on March 13, 2024.

His co-accused, however, Kali Rae Miller, 30, of Trochu, currently has a warrant out for her arrest.

It was on Oct. 28, 2023, when Innisfail RCMP say they were conducting a patrol in Springbrook looking for a prolific offender from the Penhold area. While on patrol, RCMP members located a stolen Dodge sedan.

When police attempted to stop the vehicle, Mounties say the vehicle drove away at a high rate of speed, striking a police car, causing minor damage.

RCMP say the stolen vehicle immediately became stuck in the snow where police arrested one male and one female suspect. Mounties allege the female suspect was also found to be in possession of stolen credit cards, and non-taxed cigarettes, noting she was also wanted on numerous warrants from Three Hills and Red Deer.

Brandon Wallner was charged with:

  • Flight from Police
  • Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle
  • Possession of property obtained by crime under $5000
  • Traffic Safety act offences (x3)

Mounties say Kali Miller was charged with:

  • Flight from Police
  • Obstruct Peace Officer
  • Identity Fraud
  • Possession property obtained by crime under $5000 (x2)
  • Possession of stolen credit card
  • Possession of non-taxed cigarettes
