Assault charges are pending after a pair of Mounties were allegedly attacked by an inebriated fan at a Red Deer Rebels hockey game on Saturday night. At approximately 9:30 p.m., Red Deer RCMP on duty at the game were asked by security to remove a woman, who rink staff believed was "highly intoxicated," RCMP said on Monday. The woman "resisted both security and police requests verbally" before striking one of the RCMP officers. A 27-year old-man will face two charges of uttering threats and one charge of mischief. Both are scheduled to appear in court in Red Deer on Dec. 19.
