Apartment building altercation leads to assault charge in Bonnyville

A man is facing an assault charge after a late night altercation last week in Bonnyville.

RCMP responded to an apartment building last Wednesday night at around 10:00pm on the 4100 block of 43 Avenue in Bonnyville.  

Police attended and the investigation lead them to the suspect who was located nearby. 

Ashton John, 31, of Kehewin was arrested and charged with assault, Bonnyville RCMP said. 

It was further determined that John had a warrant for his arrest for an unrelated matter out of Cold Lake.  

Furthermore, John was serving a conditional sentence order whereby he was to abide by conditions including a curfew, not to consume alcohol and to always carry a copy of his Conditional Sentence Order on him, police said. 

Upon his arrest, John was breaching his curfew, was intoxicated and did not have a copy of the order.  

He was brought before a Justice of the Peace for a bail hearing and was remanded to stay in custody. His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.
