UNITY – A 50-year-old Macklin man accused of threatening Alberta RCMP staff is scheduled to appear in Unity circuit court March 20 to enter a plea.
Jason Tucker was arrested him in February after he allegedly called Provost RCMP and threatened the staff. Unity RCMP were dispatched to Tucker’s home and when they arrived Tucker greeted them wielding a baseball bat. RCMP say that he threatened to use it against an RCMP officer who was trying to arrest him. Tucker went back into his house so police obtained a search warrant to enter his home.
Tucker is charged with assaulting the arresting police officers, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and uttering threats to RCMP staff in Provost.
He was released from custody following an appearance in North Battleford Provincial Court on Feb. 8.
The charges against Tucker haven't been tested in court.
