Brooks resident charged with criminal harassment, mischief

Brooks RCMP have charged a 25-year-old Brooks resident with criminal harassment and mischief following an investigation into incidents involving a local resident.

Police say officers began investigating on Dec. 10, 2025, after an electrician was called to a residence experiencing repeated power outages. Upon arrival, the electrician found the unit’s power had been manually shut off. He also reported unusual behaviour from a property representative at the scene, which prompted him to contact police.

The Brooks RCMP General Investigation Section took over the file. Following the investigation, Brian Woodman, 25, was arrested on Jan. 8, 2026.

Woodman is charged with criminal harassment and mischief, allegedly obstructing the resident’s use and enjoyment of her property. He was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Alberta Court of Justice in Brooks on Feb. 18, 2026.

Police say they take reports of harassment and property interference seriously and encourage anyone experiencing similar issues to contact RCMP at 310-RCMP. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at p3tips.com.
