An Innisfail man will face charges on Wednesday related to a Johnstone Park home invasion where a person was stabbed.

RCMP were called to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre at 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 3 to investigate a stabbing.

The investigation revealed that a targeted home invasion had allegedly just taken place in the Johnstone Park neighbourhood, where two men attempted to force their way into a home and stabbed one of the residents in the shoulder during a physical altercation.

RCMP soon identified one of the suspects, and members from Red Deer and Innisfail RCMP arrested the suspect without incident at a residence in Penhold later the same night.

The man had several warrants out for his arrest at the time for three separate incidents of failing to comply with court-ordered conditions stemming from Sept. 2, 17 and 24.

Brandon Robertson, 19, faces charges including break and enter with intent to commit crime, uttering threats, assault causing bodily harm, two counts of possessing weapon for dangerous purpose, possession of stolen property over and under $5,000, nine counts of failure to comply with undertaking and four counts of complying with probation orders.

RCMP continue to investigate the home invasion incident, and anyone with information is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.
