The Innisfail man accused of assaulting and kidnapping a former partner has again adjourned his plea.

The 55-year-old man, whose name is withheld to protect the identity of his alleged victim, was arrested at the CrossIron Mills mall near Balzac after a woman passed a note to a security guard, saying she had been kidnapped.

He was to have entered his plea and elected the form of his trial in Airdrie court on Thursday. However, he reserved his plea and election again and the matter has now been moved to Calgary.

The man remains in custody pending his next appearance, scheduled for Calgary provincial court on Thursday, Oct. 25.
