A trial date has been scheduled for an Innisfail man facing numerous charges and described by police as a high-risk offender.

Dakota Caron, 22, is scheduled for trial in Red Deer Court of Justice on Feb. 4, 2026.

Caron was arrested most recently on Aug. 25, 2025, when Innisfail RCMP observed him walking in downtown Innisfail while wanted on outstanding warrants for assault, resist police officer, mischief, and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

Mounties allege Caron had also failed to appear on drug trafficking charges on three separate occasions.

On Aug. 25, 2025, police allege Caron attempted to hide behind a vehicle to avoid police.

After police told him he was under arrest for his outstanding warrants, the suspect attempted to flee the area on foot, however, RCMP say he was located trying to hide behind the Coffee Cottage restaurant.

An officer attempted to arrest the suspect, but police allege he struck the officer numerous times and was able to flee on foot a second time towards the Innisfail Legion with officers in pursuit. RCMP say the suspect entered the Legion where he was immediately confronted by Legion staff and subsequently arrested by police.

Caron now faces an additional charge of assault on a police officer.

A judicial interim release hearing was held, and Caron was remanded into custody on his outstanding warrants and his new charge.
