Man sentenced to time served in alleged conspiracy to commit murder incident

Jun 14, 2024 | 4:21 PM

One of two central Alberta men accused of conspiring to commit murder last year has now been sentenced.

Chrys Andrew Tremblay, 46, a resident of Red Deer, was sentenced in Drumheller Court of Justice on June 10, 2024, to 128 days in jail. However, he was also given time-and-a-half credit for 85 days in pre-trial custody, meaning he was essentially sentenced to time already served.

Tremblay was also sentenced to 12-months of probation and given a weapons prohibition after being convicted on counts of unlawfully in dwelling house and fail to comply with a release order.

Meantime, his co-accused, Chad Daniel Wickett, 32, also a resident of Red Deer, saw his charges withdrawn on June 10, 2024.

According to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS), prosecutors determined there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction and withdrew the charges against Wickett.
