Angel Renae Blackman, the 28-year-old female recently charged with weapons-related offences by Cold Lake General Investigations Section (GIS), was in the Bonnyville Provincial Courthouse today.
The Cold Lake female adjourned her matters to Nov. 19 in order to retain counsel.
Blackman faces 32 charges in relation to multiple incidences, including the most recent allegations from late-October, when Cold Lake GIS, with the assistance of “K” Division General Investigations Section – Edmonton, arrested and charged her with aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life, assault with a weapon, pointing a firearm, carrying a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

She has also been accused of being involved in the October 2018 robbery of Sonny's Liquor Store. As a result of the incident, where several females entered the liquor store wearing masks and gloves and sprayed bear mace into the eyes of the clerk working before demanding cash, Blackman has been charged with robbery with a prohibited firearm, disguise with intent, pointing a firearm, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, possession of a weapon obtained by crime, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
