An Alberta woman is in the LAM after the crown prosecutors say she was unfairly released from a prison in the Edmonton area last month with supposedly false release documents.
Mackenzie Dawn Hardy, 24, is accused of several crimes, including the possession of stolen properties, driving with disabilities, police flight and driving without insurance or registration. It was arrested in March by RCMP Red.
The Alberta Crown Prosecutor’s Office confirmed Wednesday that Hardy was released from custody after the personnel of the Fort Saskatchewan Correctional Center, about 40 kilometers northeast of Edmonton, they were shown documents that said their positions stayed.
Later they learned that these documents were false.
“As soon as ACPS realized, we responded looking for an arrest warrant. The ACPS has also sent the alleged use of fraudulent documents to the RCMP for research,” said Michelle Davio service spokeswoman in an email.
“ACPS takes this matter very seriously and all parties have taken measures to ensure that this cannot happen in the future.”
In an interview, RCMP CPL. Troy Savinkoff said Hardy was released at the end of April and that the police were notified days later. He said that an Alberta Order has been issued for Hardy’s arrest and efforts are being made to extend it throughout Canada.
When asked why the public was not alerted to his release, he said he does not represent a risk for public security.
“She does not have a history that demonstrates a risk to the public other than the fact that she has arrest orders,” he said.
‘I’m not going to catch’
A woman who identifies as Hardy has published videos on the Tiktok social networks, where she mocks the police and denies that the documents are false.
“Then, the government government and I am an escaped inmate at this time,” says the woman in a video.
“They will not catch me because I am one step ahead of them, too fast for those pigs to come after me.”
In another video, she said that her boyfriend received a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer and that her liberation was a “gift from God.”
“They released me just when he needed me more,” he said.
Hundreds of social network users left comments in the videos that encouraged her to become.
“I’m not fleeing justice, I’m running towards life before it escapes,” he said.
Savinkoff said Hardy’s arrest is inevitable and that he might not be doing any favor with its social networks content.
“I have no doubt that the publications they are doing would certainly be presented to the courts,” he said.
“It is not very intelligent to behave like this … it is actually quite self -destructive.”
