Okotoks, Alta. – On Aug. 2025, at 1:35 p.m., Okotoks RCMP responded to a report of mischief to a vehicle in which the victims’ tires were slashed in Crystal Shores. Throughout the months that followed, the same family (three victims) were victimized multiple times with four different vehicles having their tires slashed. 

The alleged suspect continued to intimidate, taunt, and harass the family through various social media outlets with the use of false accounts. The suspect also threatened death on several occasions.
