An Innisfail man will be back in court next month in connection with charges related to an alleged assault and kidnapping of a former lover.
The 55-year-old, whose name cannot be published because it may reveal the name of his alleged victim, had a brief court appearance in Airdrie provincial court on Thursday.
Airdrie RCMP arrested the man at CrossIron Mills shopping centre in Balzac on March 28 after a woman passed a note to a security guard saying she had been kidnapped.
The man was charged with a number of offences, including house-breaking with intent, sexual assault and two counts of assaulting a peace officer. The accused will be back in Airdrie provincial court on Jan. 10 to enter an election and plea.
