According to Pincher Creek RCMP, Dewey Todd Starzyk was arrested without incident at a home in Coleman, Alta., on Saturday. They said officers were sent to arrest Starzyk after they received “information” about a robbery that occurred sometime between Feb. 1 and Feb. 3.
Starzyk had previously been charged after being arrested on Feb. 8 after a standoff with police at his Pincher Creek residence.
Last month, Starzyk was arrested again after 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.
