The third of three people charged in a kidnapping with a firearm incident in central Alberta three years ago has now been sentenced.
Alexandra Louise Rain, 27, a resident of the Maskwacis area, was sentenced in Wetaskiwin Court of King’s Bench on Sept. 16, 2025, to two-and-a-half years in jail, less pre-trial custody of 605 days at time-and-a-half credit, exceeding her 900-day sentence, therefore sentenced to time in custody and ordered to be released. She was also given a firearm prohibition, however.
Rain was convicted on counts of kidnapping/confinement with firearm, and assault. Charges of unlawful confinement, threats causing death/bodily harm, and robbery were withdrawn.
Co-accused Amy Natasha Okeymow, now 40, of the Samson Cree Nation, was sentenced in Wetaskiwin Court of Justice on Oct. 23, 2023, to 21 months in jail, two years of probation, and a 10-year firearms prohibition. She was convicted on one count of unlawful confinement.
