LETHBRIDGE – A man charged with more than half a dozen offences in relation to a west-side convenience store incident last November, did not show up at Lethbridge Provincial Court Friday as required.

Defense lawyer Miranda Hlady told Justice E.W. Peterson she had spoken to her client recently, and that he understood he was to appear. Judge Peterson then issued an arrest warrant for Jason Samuel McCrae.

The 30-year-old is alleged to have entered a 7-11 convenience store along the 600 block of Columbia Blvd. November 12, 2018, and began screaming and throwing items. 

Lethbridge Police say he then chased a female employee to a back room where she was confined for a period of time. She was not injured.

Police say a brief standoff occurred when they got to the scene, and McCrae appeared to be intoxicated.
