Feb 15, 2018 | 1:16 PM

KAMLOOPS — A North Okanagan man accused of threatening a sex trade worker, is now facing ten charges in all.

37 year old Curtis Sagmoen was in Vernon provincial court Thursday, where a charge of mischief under $5,000 was laid.

Dan McLaughlin, Communications Counsel with the BC Prosecution Service outlined the charge in an email: “This charge alleges that Curtis Wayne Sagmoen on or about the 19th day of July, 2017, at or near Falkland, in Province of British Columbia, did commit mischief by willfully placing spikes or nails on a board or spikebelt to damage the tires of motor vehicle of a value not in excess of five thousand dollars contrary to Section 430(4) of the Criminal Code.”

Charges of assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm were laid against Sagmoen earlier this month after alleged incidents with two online escort workers last August.

The suspect also faces charges of pointing a firearm, uttering threats, and disguising his face with the intent to commit an offence from last August when a sex trade worker had a pre-arranged meeting with a man near Falkland.
