Merritt, B.C. A 34 year old man is facing 8 counts of assault following a week long search for a missing Merritt woman.
 
Robert Bishop was arrested by RCMP in Oceanside BC this week after a week long search for he and 32 year old Brandy Cowell.
 
Bishop was held in custody overnight and 8 counts of assault on Cowell between August 1 and September16 have been laid against Bishop.
 
Brandy Cowell is reported to be in good physical health.
 
BISHOP will appear before a judge in Nanaimo BC later today and the crown is requesting that he be returned to Kamloops to appear next week.

Merritt RCMP are continuing their investigation and further charges may be forthcoming.
 
Cowell and Bishop left Merritt August 31st and Cowell was expected to return home in time for her 6 year old son to start school. She didn’t make it, in fact despite several sightings in the lower mainland, the couple wasn’t found until September 16th in Oceanside, one day after her family made a public plea for information on her whereabouts.

Actually, as far as I can find out, there is no Oceanside BC.
The community/town on Vancouver Island wanted to change the name of Parksville to Oceanside but that was voted/turned down.
Other than that, it is great about the update, that she is safe and sound.
Something very odd about this story.
Something missing?
No kidnapping or forcible confinement charges?
metalman.
It could be that they've filed the easy charges in order to hold him and will file other charges later later. Kidnapping/forcible confinement is probably harder to prove since she initially went with him voluntarily. They'd need to put together the case that at some point that changed, assuming that's what happened.
OT here but urgent.

Having recently secured restraints against exercise of Freedom of Expression by means of our reactionary supreme court's devising of judge-law defamation - under the obligue name of "responsible journalism" - police private-beneficiaries now seek to prohibit all criticism of nominal investigations, until same is concluded.

Calgary police have charged and arrested a Calgary website operator who has been documenting cover-ups and white-washes, committed by Calgary police. While I won't name the website in question - given judge-law orders against same - I can say that the principal appears to have been duly diligent in seeking police rebuttal, prior to reportage, which he admits is non-conclusive. OPINION250 must address this matter as a national issue, in that a successful prosecution of this case, will diminish your right to go-with-what-you-know.

According to RCMP Superintendent Randy McGinnis, “There's information that he specifically attacked the moral integrity of the members, not on just one
occasion but on several occasions."

At issue was the course of police response to accusations in the nature of misappropriation of Soccer league funding. In a later review process, investigative deficiencies were admitted.

The defamatory libel charge - which is judge-law - is inapplicable where there is a defence of truth. I am sending Ben Meisner proof that the accused website operator sought to exercise that Criminal Code defence, and was rebuffed by Calgary Police/RCMP invesigators when he sought same. Omission by a Justice System official to enforce "just laws" is an act of Sedition. Canadians need to exercise Popular Sovereignty against the pre-pension flunkies who have chosen, with malice, to arrest without answer in defence.
