Red Deer RCMP make 45 arrests in August, including two-day warrant sweep
A coordinated operation with the Fugitive Apprehension Sheriff Support Team targeted 126 outstanding arrest warrants across the city.
Red Deer RCMP reported 45 arrests made in August, most stemming from a two-day warrant round-up on Aug. 26 and 27 conducted with help from the Fugitive Apprehension Sheriff Support Team. Police say the 126 arrest warrants executed were largely unrelated to each other and occurred throughout the city, with no shots fired during any of the operations.
Among the notable arrests, 37-year-old Jeffrey Hiltz was located at a West Park residence with assistance from the Alberta RCMP Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services after being wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for breaching parole conditions. A separate warrant executed at another West Park home led to the arrest of a 17-year-old male found hiding in an attic while attempting to evade police.
Police also arrested 20-year-old Maverick McGillivary, who was stopped while riding a bike without lights and tried to flee. He was found with an imitation firearm and imitation brass knuckles, and was breaching multiple probation and release conditions. McGillivary faces additional charges including obstructing a peace officer and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, with a court appearance set for Sept. 4.
In the lead-up to the round-up, RCMP also arrested 30-year-old Devyn Hendrickson on Aug. 12 for a parole breach, and 37-year-old George Adshade on Aug. 19 during a search of a Glendale residence, where he faced 10 outstanding warrants. Adshade is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 3. RCMP are asking anyone with information on individuals wanted on outstanding warrants to contact local police or Crime Stoppers.
