BROOKS, AB – A 37-year-old man from Brooks is facing a number of charges including kidnapping following an incident that occurred last month.

RCMP say on Oct. 24 witnesses reported a red Cadillac Escalade speeding through a construction zone on Silver Sage Road around 7 p.m.

A woman fell out of the passenger side door and suffered critical injuries. She is out of the hospital and is working on her recovery.

Officers located the vehicle and executed a search warrant. A suspect was identified and it was determined he and the victim were known to each other.

On Tuesday morning, Brooks RCMP coordinated a joint effort with the RCMP Emergency Response Team, Southern Alberta Crime Reduction Unit and General Investigation Section, to execute a search warrant on a residence in Brooks.
