There has been a stay of proceedings in regards to an alleged assault and vehicle theft in central Alberta last year.

The stay means a temporary or permanent halt to legal proceedings in the matter which saw two suspects charged in the incident.

On Sept. 8, 2024, Maskwacis RCMP received a report that a victim was assaulted before her vehicle, a 2023 Dodge truck, was allegedly stolen by what police describe as two known offenders.

Officers say the same suspects were then reported to have shot a firearm at another witness near the Bear Hills Truck Stop on the QEII.

According to RCMP, the vehicle was located with assistance from EPS Air1, which maintained surveillance of the truck. Mounties say it was observed pulling in to a residence on Louis Bull First Nation. The RCMP Emergency Response Team was deployed and, with assistance from EPS TAC, all occupants safely existed the home and were then taken into custody.

Following the arrests, Colin Tyson Bull, a 24-year-old residing in Louis Bull First Nation, and Shaunelle Tawny Marilyn Okeymow, 32-years-old and also residing in Louis Bull First Nation, were each originally charged with: robbery and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
