North Battleford Crown Prosecutor Oryn Holm and defence lawyer Don Smith entered a joint submission to the court for a nine-month conditional sentence. Charges of discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life and assault of a police officer with a weapon were withdrawn. McAlpine and four others were charged after an incident on Onion Lake Cree Nation on Jan. 1, 2021. Holm told the court there was no evidence McAlpine in any way encouraged the flight from the police or shooting at the police, and she was in the vehicle when the incident happened but not a willing participant. He said her culpability comes from the knowledge that there were firearms in the vehicle.
Judge Kim Young reserved the court’s decision and adjourned the matter until May 19. Lane Ryder Pahtayken, 23, of Onion Lake, is also charged in the incident. According to Onion Lake RCMP, shots were fired at a home at about 9:30 a.m. on April 10. The people inside the home escaped to a nearby residence and weren’t harmed. Alberta RCMP arrested Pahtayken and Okemow a few hours later near Kitscoty. Pahtayken was charged with seven firearms-related offences, flight from a peace officer, dangerous driving, theft of a truck, mischief over $5,000, damage to property, and failing to comply with an undertaking. He also has charges from February including assault, obstruction and breach of an undertaking.
