EDSON, Alta. — RCMP in Edson, Alta., say they have laid additional charges against a suspect after a vehicle was driven through a building housing a provincial courthouse in the town west of Edmonton.
Police say officers were called to the scene Saturday, May 11 around 9:30 a.m.
They say a lone male stole a vehicle from an ATCO Electric compound, drove through a fence, then plowed through the east entrance of the provincial building, exiting on the building’s west side.
As well as sustaining extensive damage from the vehicle, police say anti-Semitic messaging was written throughout the building.
Investigators say Kelvin Brent Zawadiuk, 35, in addition to his previous charges, has been charged with public incitement of hatred.
As this matter is now before the courts no further information will be provided.
