An Innisfail man charged in a stabbing incident at a Red Deer business last year has been sentenced to two years in jail.
Lane Michael McCharles, 34, was sentenced in Red Deer Court of Justice on Sept. 17, 2025, after being convicted on counts of aggravated assault, assault-chokes-suffocates, assault, and careless use/storage firearm. Nine other charges against him were withdrawn.
McCharles’, sentence, however, will be reduced by 412 days for pre-trial custody at time-and-a-half credit, leaving him with ten-and-a-half months still to serve. He was also given probation and a firearms prohibition.
It was on Sunday Dec. 15, 2024, at 12:14 p.m., when police responded to the business on 22nd Street in Red Deer, where a suspect entered the facility with a knife, stabbed a staff member in the leg, and tried to fight everyone else.
