An Edmonton man is facing multiple charges stemming from an incident that took place in Enoch Cree Nation earlier this week.
In the early hours of Jan. 12, 2025, the Enoch RCMP received a call to the River Cree Casino for a female reporting an assault by a male suspect who was known to her.
Mounties arrived on the scene and learned that the male suspect had fled the area on foot.
With assistance from the Edmonton Police K9 Unit, a dog track led to the location and arrest of the male suspect.
During the the arrest, the male was treated for injuries sustained from the police dog. The suspect was later medically cleared at a hospital and released into police custody.
George Monias (61), a resident of Edmonton, was charged with the following offences:
- Assault with a weapon;
- Theft under $5,000;
- Possession of methamphetamine.
Monias was also found to be on a Canada wide warrant for a parole violation at the time of his arrest.
Monias was taken before a Justice of the Peace and remanded into custody and his next court date is scheduled for Jan. 15, 2025 in a Stony Plain court room.
