A preliminary hearing date and a trial date have been scheduled for two central Alberta men accused of conspiring to commit murder last year.

Chrys Andrew Tremblay, 46, a resident of Red Deer, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Drumheller Court of Justice from June 10-11, 2024, to determine if his case has enough evidence to go to trial.

Meantime, his co-accused, Chad Daniel Wickett, 32, also a resident of Red Deer, is scheduled for trial in Drumheller Court of Justice those same days.

On May 25, 2023, Red Deer RCMP issued a heavy police presence notification while officers conducted a high-risk arrest utilizing the Emergency Response Team in the area of 47a Avenue and 55 Street.

Mounties say officers were successful in making the arrest.
