A man accused of firing shots at Pincher Creek RCMP officers last month is back in custody after allegedly breaching conditions of his release.
Just after 10 p.m. on Friday, officers stopped a vehicle, driven by 53-year-old Dewey “Todd” Starzyk, according to Pincher Creek RCMP. He was subsequently arrested for allegedly breaking his curfew.
Following a search of his vehicle, police said they found what they believed to be cocaine, as well as drug paraphernalia.
