The Calgary Police Service has charged a local man in connection with a daytime aggravated assault in the downtown in September.

On Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2008, at approximately 12:30 p.m., a man burst into a home in the 500 block of 15 Avenue S.W., and confronted a woman who was home alone. The suspect assaulted the woman for several minutes until the woman was able to make enough noise to scare him off. The offender ran from the house and disappeared into downtown traffic.

On Thursday, Oct. 9, 2008, officers arrested and charged Michael Andrew SCOTT, 35, in connection with this offence.

SCOTT had been under supervision by the Calgary Police Service High Risk Offender Program since Sept. 3, 2008. At the time, the Service issued a warning about SCOTT in the interest of public safety. The Service had been in regular contact with SCOTT since his release.

SCOTT is charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, break and enter, forcible confinement, possession of a weapon and breach of recognizance.

Staff Sgt. Curtis Olson of the CPS Sex Crimes Unit will be available to speak with the media today, Friday, Oct.10, 2008. This availability will take place at 10:30 a.m., on the third floor of the Andrew Davison Building, 133 6 Ave S.E.
