A well-known criminal from Dawson Creek is back in police custody. The Alberta RCMP have confirmed that Tanner Murray was arrested in Grande Prairie on at least one outstanding warrant.
There are few details available at this time. The story will be updated as more information becomes available.
Back in February, Judge Richard Blaskovits sentenced Murray to 300 days in jail.
Murray pled guilty to 10 charges and will be released from the Prince George Regional Correction Centre near the end of March.
Murray pled guilty to two counts of assaulting a police officer, possessing a firearm with an altered serial number, occupying a vehicle with a known firearm present, flight from police and breaching a number of release orders.
Murray was given lifetime firearms ban and is prohibited from driving for two years after pleading guilty to drinking and driving.
He served 183 days in jail and with credit for time already served. He will walk out of jail in 24 days time.
Murray served under seven months in jail for the 10 offences he pled guilty to. At the time of the sentence hearing, Murray had no prior criminal record.
Murray is no stranger to the Dawson Creek RCMP. In August of 2024, a search of his residence led to the seizure of illegal guns, over 1000 rounds of ammunition and drugs, including suspected fentanyl and heroin. Police say support gear for organized crime was also seized.
In January of 2024, Murray was a fugitive on the run from police. In May of 2023, he was arrested and charged with robbery and uttering threats. Those charges were stayed by the crown.
This past fall, the CBC’s Fifth Estate spoke to the stepsister of Daralyn Supernant. She said on the day Daralyn disappeared, she had been really pre-occupied talking to Murray on her phone.
The stepsister also revealed that police had been asking her friends about Murray, during their investigation into Darylyn’s disappearance.
