Charges have been withdrawn against an Innisfail resident arrested after being surveilled through a habitual offender management program.

According to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS), there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction, as such, the charges were withdrawn.

On August 6, Innisfail RCMP observed a “high risk repeat offender” allegedly driving a truck with a flatbed trailer while under a criminal suspension from vehicle operation.

RCMP, aware of this sentencing condition, say they arrested the individual without incident for driving while suspended. A search of his truck and trailer allegedly resulted in the seizure of:

• Over 1500 lbs of stripped copper wire
• Dozens of break and enter tools
• Untaxed illegal cigarettes
• Stolen licence plate
• Bear spray and machetes
