(EDMONTON) RCMP in St. Albert are hoping for help from the public in locating a man who went MIA and failed to attend a court hearing on May 31, 2021.
Vincent Parenteau was initially charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking and Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose, on April 30.
Since that time, Health Canada has confirmed the Controlled Substance located was methamphetamine, with an approximate street value of $3800.00.
On April 30, 2021, St. Albert RCMP say they received a call regarding a male who appeared to be passed out in a Uhaul truck, which was parked on Poundmaker Road. An officer located a male slouched over the cube truck’s steering wheel. The police officer was concerned for the male’s safety and opened the vehicle door to ensure he was breathing, which woke the male up.
RCMP say the officer then noticed a large knife in plain view and within driver’s reach, so for officer safety reasons, the male was detained and placed in handcuffs.
A pat down search of the male was conducted to ensure he did not have anymore weapons on his person. In the process, a Ziploc sandwich bag containing what appeared to be methamphetamine was located in the male’s pant pocket. The officer informed the male he was under arrest for possession of a controlled substance.
Anyone with information on Vincent Parenteau’s whereabouts is asked to contact the St. Albert RCMP.
