Accused in Amber Alert ‘not a monster’: Defence
The lawyer for the accused in a recent Amber Alert says his client is not a monster, and there may be video footage to prove his innocence.
Johnathan Ryann Gunville, 19, of North Battleford remains in custody and faces charges including: abduction, unlawful confinement, abandoning a child, dangerous operation of a vehicle, theft of a vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, evading police, driving while disqualified and failing to comply with a probation order.
The charges relate to an Amber Alert on Sept. 16 as well as two other vehicle thefts on Sept. 19 and Sept. 20.
The Amber Alert was triggered when an SUV parked outside a strip mall in North Battleford was stolen with a six-year-old girl in the backseat. The vehicle, with the girl still in the backseat, was located in a field the next morning.
