Fatal MVC on Hwy 22 south of Cochrane
February 13, 2014 at approximately 1:15 PM a collision occurred on Highway 22 two kilometers South of Cochrane AB. The collision involved a North bound cement truck and a South bound small pick up truck. Preliminary information suggests that road conditions for that part of the highway played a significant role in causing the collision. Witnesses recalled the truck losing control and crossing the highway into the path of the cement truck. The driver, and lone occupant, of the small truck was declared deceased on scene. The driver of the cement truck was treated by EMS and release at the location. Highway 22 has been closed for several hours and will be reopened when the investigation is complete.
Road conditions for that section of Highway 22 were slippery due to high winds and drifting snow.
The identity of the deceased is not being released until notification of the next of kin is completed.
On February 13, 2014, at approximately 7:40 pm, a lone male entered the Reddi Mart convenience store at 3903 46 Street in Ponoka and committed an armed robbery.

Grande Prairie man charged in death of Courtney Johnstone
On Feb. 10, 2014, RCMP arrested and charged Shane Gregory Babitsch, age 21, of Grande Prairie with the first degree murder in death of Courtney Breanna Johnstone, age 26, also of Grande Prairie.
Babitsch will appear in Grande Prairie Provincial Court on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014.
Johnstone was reported missing to the RCMP on Jan. 30, 2014 and an aggressive search for the missing woman was initiated. An extensive investigation conducted by the RCMP Serious Crimes Branch and the Grande Prairie Detachment, including the Major Crimes and KARE units, has revealed that Courtney Johnstone is deceased.
The search continues at the Grande Prairie Aquatera Waste Management site where RCMP believe Courtney Johnstone’s remains are located.
The Special Tactical Operations Team (STO) comprised of RCMP officers from across Alberta, has been at the landfill since Tuesday February 11th.
RCMP say the search at the landfill is methodical and arduous. There have been factors that create challenges for the searchers of which include: extreme cold weather and snowfall, maintaining sufficient human resources at the site, and the dangerous working environment which includes industrial and medical waste as well as toxic gases.
Shane Gregory Babitsch, 21 years of age of Grande Prairie appeared in Grande Prairie Provincial Court on Wednesday February 12, 2014 at which time he was remanded in custody. Babitsch’s next court appearance is scheduled in Grande Prairie on Wednesday March 12 for election and plea.
Johnstone’s family and acquaintances were very quick to report Johnstone missing, a factor that aided the RCMP in this investigation.
“Courtney’s family and friends were fast in reporting Courtney missing,” says Superintendent Ray Noble, Officer-in-Command of Grande Prairie Detachment, “This, coupled with a concentrated effort by all of our investigators, led to the arrest of the person we believe responsible for her death. We offer our sincere condolences to Courtney’s family.”
The investigation is ongoing.

Pharmacist investigated for Prescription Drug Possession
The Innisfail RCMP Detachment has entered into an investigation presented from the local Shopper’s drug mart. Internal Security personal had previously identified irregular practices performed by a lone female pharmacist. The practices involved the theft of narcotics, as well as, the creation of false entries into the computer in order to fill nonexistent prescriptions. Some of these illegal activities have been connected to the Red Deer Shopper’s Drug Mart as well. The Pharmacist in question had been employed at the Innisfail Shopper’s Drug Mart for over two years with the RCMP Detachment identifying criminal activity over the last year and a half of that time frame. Yesterday, the Pharmacist was taken into custody after being confronted by her employer and fired.
Charges are being pursued for Fraud and illegal possession of a narcotic at this time. However, the investigation continues and in consultation with the Crown additional charges are expected. The suspect cannot be identified at this time without the charges being confirmed in their entirety.
The investigation to date has determined no organized crime connection; however, the duration and losses involved are extensive and aggravating, with an estimated 14,000 pills being lost of the Dilaudid brand. As well, there was the tampering and partial removal of the contents, from the capsule form of the medication, off the shelf of the Pharmacy, identified. Reports have confirmed some capsules were emptied of 20% to 50% of their contents before being reassembled and returned to the shelf. In fact the investigation began upon reports from customers of the decreased efficacy of their medication.
The Pharmacist in question has no prior criminal record.
The Innisfail RCMP would like to point out that without the diligence of the Shopper’s Drug Mart employees and security personal, the matter may have very well passed scrutiny for an extended period of time, given the unlimited access of the pharmacist in question.
Bushe drug seizure
On Wednesday February 12, 2014 members of the High Level-Mackenzie Region Crime Reduction Unit, High Level First Nations Policing Unit, High Level Detachment, and High Level Police Dog Section executed a search warrant at a residence in the Bushe First Nations Community. During the search, a significant amount of cocaine estimated in the area of 280 single doses, a quantity of cash, and other items related to drug trafficking were seized. As a result, Darren CHONKOLAY (39) was arrested and charged for Trafficking in a Controlled Substance and Possession of Property/Proceeds Obtained by Crime. Darren CHONKOLAY remains in custody at this time. His next court appearance will be in High Level on February 24, 2014.

Stolen truck suspects arrested in Chestermere
During the late morning of Wednesday February 12, 2014 the Chestermere RCMP were alerted by the Calgary Police Service of a potentially stolen vehicle being followed from Calgary east into Chestermere along Chestermere Boulevard. Calgary Police Service helicopter "HAWCS" was assisting with the monitoring of this vehicle identified as a grey 2007 Ford F-350 truck. This truck was tracked as it performed a hard turn colliding into a power pole on Rainbow Falls Road at Merganser Road West. This truck was then followed into Chestermere Station where the two suspects abandoned the truck and fled on foot. Numerous members of the Calgary Police Service and Chestermere RCMP were on scene immediately and arrested both suspects without incident.
As the incident had initiated in Calgary both arrested persons were turned over to the Calgary Police Service for all charges. The truck was confirmed stolen from Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. The suspects were a 21 year old male and a 17 year old female both from Calgary. There were no injuries arising from this occurrence. Witnesses at the collision scene were very helpful with the identification and arrest of these suspects.
The collision with the power pole resulted in significant damage to the pole requiring Rainbow Falls Road northbound lanes being closed off for several hours as a precaution while repairs were made.
This incident is another example of the close working relationships between the Chestermere RCMP and the Calgary Police Service. It further serves as a reminder of the proximity of Chestermere to the largest city in Alberta and of the potential of criminality entering this community.

Red Deer RCMP are warning the public to be aware of a telephone scam occurring in Red Deer and across the country, in which scammers call people at home claiming to be raising money for police programs. In an unsuccessful attempt to scam a Red Deer citizen last week, a caller claimed to be representing the RCMP and other police associations. The telephone scammer was aggressive in his request and asked for $100 or $300, which are common amounts for scammers of this sort to request.
Red Deer City RCMP would like to remind the public that RCMP do not solicit funds for police programs. It is important for people to learn to distinguish between legitimate fundraising calls and scammers.
Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre Tips to Avoid False Charity Scams
- Be wary of appeals that tug at your heart strings, especially pleas involving current events.
- Ask for written information about the charity, including name, address and telephone number. A legitimate charity or fund-raiser will give you information about the charity's mission, how your donation will be used and proof that your contribution is tax deductible.
- Ask the solicitor for the registered charitable tax number of the charity. Question any discrepancies. Confirm the charity’s registration information through the Canada Revenue Agency (1-800-267-2384).
- Check out the charity's financial information. For many organizations, this information can be found online.
- Ask for identification. If the solicitor refuses to tell you or does not have some form of verifiable identification, hang up or close the door and report it to law enforcement officials.
- Call the charity. Find out if the organization is aware of the solicitation and has authorized the use of its name. If not, you may be dealing with a scam artist.
- Watch out for similar sounding names. Some phony charities use names that closely resemble those of respected, legitimate organizations. If you notice a small difference from the name of the charity you intend to deal with, call the organization to check it out.
- Be skeptical if someone thanks you for a pledge you don't remember making. If you have any doubts about whether you've made a pledge or previously contributed, check your records. Be on the alert for invoices claiming you've made a pledge. Some unscrupulous solicitors use this approach to get your money.
- Refuse high pressure appeals. Legitimate fund-raisers won't push you to give on the spot.
