An arrest warrant has been issued for one of two Red Deer men accused of attempted murder.

Daniel Huddlestone, 34 and Cameron Glen Monkman, 28, face numerous charges laid on June 3 by Sylvan Lake RCMP called to reports of a seriously wounded man found walking along a roadside near Benalto.

Monkman was released from custody on June 12 on $2,000 cash bail and made two appearances in Red Deer provincial court since then, but had not entered his plea.

Charges against him include attempted murder, robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault, possession of a narcotic and a variety of weapons offences.

A warrant for his arrest was issued when Monkman did not show up for his scheduled court appearance on Tuesday.

Huddlestone, who faces similar charges, remains in custody at Red Deer Remand Centre awaiting a bail hearing. He made a brief court appearance on Tuesday morning, but asked to have the hearing adjourned for two more weeks because he has not yet been able to hire a lawyer.

Huddlestone is due back in court on Aug. 7.
