UPDATE: In February 2018, all 43 charges against the accused were stayed.

The RCMP has issued a plea for help from the public as the try to find an Edmonton man wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant in connection with several violent criminal offences which occurred in Wetaskiwin this month.

On Friday, police said 35-year-old Sean Michael Greenwall is wanted for sexual assault with a weapon, two counts of sexual assault, five counts of unlawful confinement, seven counts of assault with a weapon and three counts of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.

Police said the arrest warrant stems from several incidents, including one reported earlier this month. On June 5, police said officers from the Wetaskiwin RCMP detachment were called to a report of an assault involving a gun. The Mounties said Greenwall was charged with aggravated assault causing bodily harm and other offences. Greenwall was released from custody under several conditions, including not to have contact with the victim in the investigation.
