STANDOFF –  The RCMP South Major Crime Unit, in cooperation with the Blood Tribe Police Service (BTPS), have charged a 42-year-old man with slaughter in the death of Sara-Jean Big Sorrel Horse of the Blood Tribe.

On the morning of June 27, 2015, BTPS began an investigation after being called about an unresponsive female.  The woman was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.

 A subsequent autopsy determined the death was homicide and the RCMP Major Crime Unit was asked to assist the BTPS and took over the investigation.

After a lengthy investigation, Jimmy BAD MAN was arrested for Manslaughter on Friday, February 3, 2017.

An unrelated investigation stemming from an assault in Cardston on January 27, 2017, resulted in a further charge of aggravated assault against Bad Man, who has been   remanded in custody.  He is scheduled to make a first court appearance on Monday, February 6, in Lethbridge.
