Charges have been laid against two people suspected of assaulting an employee and refusing to put on masks before entering a store in Dawson Creek.
According to court records, Crown prosecution has approved one count each of assault and mischief $5,000 or under for Taylor Jordan Alex and, for Kennedy Jane Dianne Pace, a count of assault from the Nov. 25 incident at the northeast B.C. community's Walmart.
Alex is scheduled to make a first appearance in Dawson Creek provincial court on Feb. 23 while, as of Monday afternoon, no date was set for Pace.
In a posting on social media, Dawson Creek RCMP confirmed that charges have been laid but did not provide their names.
"However, both suspects are encouraged to turn themselves in immediately, in order to address the outstanding arrest warrants," RCMP said.
The mischief charge against Alex was for allegedly damaging the employee's cellphone during the attack, RCMP said.
