Police got a complaint of a road rage incident within the city of Cold Lake with the victims reporting having been chased from a gas station after an interaction at the location involving an unknown male.
The report says the man chased the victim’s vehicle and stopped to beat on their window. The chase continued and the man pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the victims before they were able to eventually get away.
Cold Lake RCMP’s General Investigations Section launched an investigation and arrested Frederick James Daly after a search was conducted on Aug. 17, 2023.
