Jarrett Daniel Keddy pleaded guilty to mischief damage under $5,000.
On October 12, 2021, Slave Lake RCMP were called to a fight between two men in Slave Lake, said the Crown prosecutor. Keddy was charged with assault and mischief damage. Investigation revealed that Keddy was at the victim’s house. He was already intoxicated and continued drinking. He started to call a woman in the home names. The victim asked Keddy to leave. Keddy refused, and kicked a basement window. The window broke. Later, the victim and Keddy had the argument and altercation which resulted in the police being called.
Keddy’s criminal record is very short, said the Crown. He asked for restitution of $216.77 to pay for the broken window and a small fine.
Keddy was fined $100 and ordered to pay for the window. He has time to pay the fine until February 2, 2022.

Skylar Wade Bigstone (18), from Wabasca-Desmarais, appeared via closed circuit TV from Edmonton Remand Centre. He pleaded guilty to eight crimes with dates ranging from August 12 to October 8, 2021.
On August 12, 2021 at 8:30 a.m., the Wabasca-Desmarais RCMP received a report of a stolen quad, said the Crown. The victims woke up around 8 a.m. and found that their quad was missing. It had been chained to the garage, the court heard, wedged between the building and a minivan.
Video footage shows two masked men taking two hours to steal the quad, said the Crown. Bigstone matched the description of one of them. The quad was found at a nearby RV, which has a reputation for having unwanted people hanging around. Bigstone was found passed out, intoxicated, and disoriented in the area. He was under conditions to not be intoxicated.
Bigstone pleaded guilty to theft of a motor vehicle and failure to comply with release conditions.
Two of the other crimes were failure to comply with 24 hour house arrest while out on bail. On September 17, and 21, the RCMP did a curfew check and Bigstone was not there.
The final crimes which Bigstone pleaded guilty to also started with curfew check.
On September 23, the Wabasca-Desmarais RCMP did a curfew check on Bigstone, said the Crown. He wasn’t there. Then on October 8, an RCMP officer saw Bigstone walking down the road. He was arrested on warrants. He had brass knuckles on his person. Also, a can of bear spray covered with black tape in his sleeve, and methamphetamine in his pocket.
Bigstone pleaded guilty to two charges for carrying a concealed weapon, and two charges of failure to comply with release conditions. The conditions were to be in his residence 24/7 and to not have any intoxicating substance in his possession.
Bigstone’s previous criminal record was for related offences. These however were his first adult convictions.
Bigstone was sentenced to 120 days in jail. He had credit for 85 days, so 35 left to serve.
This was broken down to theft of a motor vehicle (45 days), five charges of failure to comply with conditions [15 days concurrent (two) and consecutive (three)], and two charges of carrying a concealed weapon (30 days concurrent to each other).

Robert William Price pleaded guilty to a traffic ticket for driving without insurance. He received the statutory minimum of $2,875. He received nine months to pay. If the fine isn’t paid, he’ll have to spend 45 days in jail.
