Anti-Racism Rally

Calgary woman charged with assault with a weapon at Red Deer anti-racism event

Oct 23, 2020 | 5:18 PM

RCMP have released the name of the second person charged in relation to altercations at an anti-racism demonstration last month in Red Deer.

After reviewing numerous pieces of video evidence and interviewing witnesses, the Red Deer RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) determined that two separate assaults occurred at the Sept. 20 demonstration at Rotary Recreation Park.

Mounties say the first assault occurred while organizers were arriving to set-up for the event. RCMP were not yet on site when it occurred but say they did speak with the victim upon their arrival.

Police announced on Oct. 7 that Trevor Lyle Roy, 42, of Penhold had been charged with assault in relation to the incident and is scheduled to attend Red Deer provincial court on Nov. 17.

The second assault, according to RCMP, took place during the event and video of it was posted online. RCMP say they did not witness this assault but that once officers became aware of what had happened, they separated the parties, provided assistance to the victim and identified the suspect.
