BARRHEAD - The Barrhead RCMP are seeking the public's help in locating a local man accused of committing several serious criminal offences after he failed to appear in court on May 13.
As a result of his absence, Alberta justice Thomas Achtymichuk issued a warrant for Curtis Paul Powder.
Powder was scheduled to speak to four charges of possession with a purpose, two charges of possession of a controlled substance, one charge of unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon and possession of a prohibited weapon.
However, Barrhead RCMP Sgt. Colin Hack said Powder, since February, is believed to have lost weight.
If anyone in the public has information about Powder's whereabouts, contact the Barrhead RCMP Detachment at 780-674-4848 or the non-emergency Barrhead 780-674-2696. People can also call the RCMP's provincial non-emergency line at 310-RCMP (7267). This number connects you directly to the Alberta RCMP Operational Communication Centre.
Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, online at www.P3Tips.com or by using the P3 Tips app available through the Apple App or Google Play Store.
