Hey there, time traveller!

The last man to be sentenced in the 2018 shooting of an RCMP officer has been re-arrested after missing his sentencing hearing last year.
Delaney Houle was scheduled to be sentenced after pleading guilty to possession of a weapon obtained by crime, unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle and two counts of break and enter in November 2020, but he did not show up.
He had since been wanted under a warrant.
Houle made a brief court appearance by video in Brandon provincial court on Monday morning.
Crown attorney Grant Hughes said the court would need to find a new date for Houle to be sentenced in front of Judge Donovan Dvorak, who heard the arguments in the case in Minnedosa.
No details on how Houle was arrested were presented in court on Monday.
Houle is the only person who still hasn’t been sentenced for their role in the 2018 shooting of RCMP Const. Graeme Kingdon near Onanole in 2018.
He was part of a series of events on Aug. 29, 2018, when he and three co-accused broke into two properties and stole firearms and ammunition.
The day ended with Kingdon shot in the back of the head with a 12-gauge shotgun.
During a sentencing hearing in August, Crown attorney Daniel Chaput asked the judge to sentence Houle to three years in prison for the charges, or two years in jail followed by a lengthy period of probation.
Defence lawyer Tara Walker asked the judge to sentence Houle to one year in jail on each charge to be served concurrently, which would amount to a total sentence of one year in jail.
Shane Beaulieu, one of the co-accused, was sent to jail for two years for his role in the crime in late August.
Tommy Beaulieu was sentenced to 13 years in prison and Therae Racette-Beaulieu, who pulled the trigger, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
A date for Houle’s sentencing is scheduled to be set later this week.
