Default Dennis Cheeseman arrested, again

Dennis Cheeseman arrested by RCMP in Whitecourt

Julia Parrish, CTV Edmonton
Published Friday, August 29, 2014 6:36PM MDT
Last Updated Friday, August 29, 2014 7:02PM MDT

Police in Whitecourt said a suspicious vehicle complaint led to the arrest of a man convicted in the shooting deaths of four RCMP officers in Mayerthorpe in 2005.

Whitecourt RCMP said Dennis Cheeseman was arrested Friday, and charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Late Friday evening, RCMP said the arrest stemmed from a suspicious vehicle complaint from the public.

RCMP told CTV News Cheeseman remained in custody, and the Parole Board of Canada had been notified of the new charges.

He was released from prison in November, 2013, after serving two-thirds of his sentence for manslaughter.

When he was released, it was on conditions that he abstains from drugs and alcohol, and to not associate with criminals until his sentence expires. That was set for April 13, 2016.

The guy needs a dealer that will just come to his house.
Pay the premium for the service and carry on
Dummy.

But, yes. Addictions make ppl do some stupid things.
Controled substance is probably Mary Jane.
However, whitecourt has a known meth problem as well.

Meh. More wasted resources for our court system.
What's the answer?

Unfortunately Canada has a legal system, not a justice system. Many offenders are never punished to the extent that they should be, and in other cases, the prosecutors use questionable tactics meant to punish people more than the law should allow. Judging by his previous treatment in our legal system, I am thinking that Cheeseman will be dealt with, much harsher than almost any other person charged with the same offense would be. The police and prosecutors won't miss any opportunity to punish him, as much as they can.

Possibility and who could blame them. This guy's gonna live the rest of his life under a microscope which is as it should be. What can you say about the intelligence of someone who fell for the Mister Big sting ?

You seem to have missed the innocent til proven guilty in a court of law. Cops charge lots of people with lots of things that get thrown out. Cheeseman is still innocent.

My guess is the parole board will decide that before the court does.

Unless there's more to the story than has ever been released to the media, Cheeseman was a patsy. The mounties failed miserably at Mayerthorpe and had to collect their pound of flesh. Cheeseman's so-called involvement in the murders is at most a very bad joke. If anything he was a victim of bullying. Now aint that trendy?

That pretty much sums it up. They couldn't punish the murderer. so they took vengeance on those closest to the crime. Someone had to pay, whether they played an actual part in the murders or not.

You have to be convicted of a crime before a parole board can do anything.

It was the worst conviction I have ever seen, not one person from inside the RCMP even got a day off with pay but 2 suckers who never pulled a trigger spent more time in jail than a lot of actual murderers.

He got caught with a controlled substance and charged for it. That's what's real.
If it gets thrown out of court based on a technicality, that's luck.

I don't need a panel of 'peers' to tell me if someone is innocent or not if I have the facts.
If you've ever sat on a jury panel you'll know exactly what a joke our process is.
They take twelve people, 9 of which have a problem punishing their own children and the other 3 that fear retribution so bad that they would never convict anyone, and put them in charge of 'justice'.

This minor case, however, will probably be by judge alone.

Hate to let you down, but if you get caught by the po po with a bag of drugs (assuming it is just weed but you never know) on your persons or in your vehicle you are guilty. Dont need to plug up the court system for that. Since hes on parole hes done and headed back to jail. pretty cut and dry if you ask me.

Not true, process will determine.

Don’t agree.

Legal system, not justice.

You don't need to pull a trigger to be guilty for helping someone kill others. He was not convicted of murder, just accessory to it, which is why he only spent the little time in jail he did.

But understanding this simple case is unfortunately beyond some people's comprehension.

"Little time?" He spent more time behind bars than some people that actually killed other people.
