Red Deer man gets 5-year sentence in firearms, stolen property case
Trent Fielder, 56, will serve roughly two more years after credit for time already served in custody.
A 56-year-old Red Deer man has been sentenced to five years in jail following a firearms and stolen property investigation. Trent Fielder was sentenced in Red Deer Court of Justice on Sept. 22, 2026, to 1,825 days, but received credit for 1,115 days already served, leaving 710 days, or just under two years, to serve.
Fielder was found guilty on three counts of possession of property under $5,000, making or possessing identity documents, possessing a prohibited firearm, possessing a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm, careless use or storage of a firearm, and possessing a firearm knowing its possession was unauthorized. Six other counts against him were withdrawn. He was also handed a lifetime firearm prohibition.
The case stems from an Oct. 5, 2023 search warrant executed by the Red Deer RCMP Crime Reduction Team on a property in Red Deer County. Police recovered a significant amount of stolen property, including multiple vehicles, ATVs and dirt bikes, firearms and ammunition, and a stolen passport.
