Man charged after woman allegedly threatened in B.C. gets new court date
VERNON, B.C. — The lawyer for a man who was charged after police issued a warning to the public and female sex workers in British Columbia’s Okanagan region says her client’s case was put over to next month in court on Thursday.
RCMP say 36-year-old Curtis Sagmoen was charged Oct. 17 with disguising his face with intent to commit an offence, uttering threats and weapons offences.
Defence lawyer Lisa Jean Helps says her client’s next court appearance in Vernon is scheduled for Nov. 23.
The charges were laid after the RCMP warned of a “possible risk to the general public and women sex workers” in the area of Salmon River Road near Salmon Arm after a male suspect allegedly threatened a woman with a firearm.
