SASKATOON – Violence-related charges against 41-year-old Bo Alstrup – who was wanted by Canada Border Services Agency – have been stayed and he has been turned over to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Charges of assault causing bodily harm, assault, choking, uttering threats, and failing to comply with a probation order were stayed in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Jan. 8.
“He was to be removed from the country on Jan 9/24 pursuant to a deportation order,” Saskatoon Senior Crown Prosecutor Dan Dahl told SASKTODAY.ca in an email Wednesday.
“As far as I know this occurred yesterday and I’m awaiting confirmation. Due to the fact that he was being removed from the country I was of the view that it was no longer in the public interest to proceed with the prosecution. As a result the charges were stayed.”
Alstrup was arrested by Outlook RCMP on Dec. 2 after they responded to a call about an assault at a home in the R. M. of Loreburn.
Alstrup allegedly gave a false name to police when they first arrived at the home. RCMP also discovered that Alstrup was wanted by the CBSA under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Maria Ladouceur, spokesperson, media relations, for CBSA told SASKTODAY.ca they can’t comment on individual cases and why Alstrup was wanted by them.
“An individual’s border and immigration information is considered private and protected by the Privacy Act,” said Ladouceur.
