RCMP have identified and located a person allegedly involved with mischief and obstruction last weekend at the GraceLife Church west of Edmonton.

The individual was arrested without incident for Mischief under $5,000 and Obstruction in relation to a perimeter fence around the church, according to an RCMP news release.

The person was released with conditions not to attend the church property, and to make a court appearance at Stony Plain Provincial Court on June 30.

Charges have not been laid before the court.

Police are still working to identify and locate other people involved in criminal activities on April 11.

Hundreds showed up last Sunday to protest the Parkland County church's closure by Alberta Health Services following repeated violations of public health restrictions.

At one point, a group splintered from the crowd and tore down part of a perimeter fence before it was restored by RCMP officers and others from the crowd.

The Enoch Cree Nation, which shares a border with Parkland County, released a statement that said demonstrators had trespassed on its land and vandalized a Nation member's vehicle.

GraceLife church said in a statement its congregants were not present for the event.

  • NASA Re-establishes Contact With Voyager 1 From 15 Billion Miles Away

    NASA scientists have made contact with their Voyager 1 spacecraft - which is 15 billion miles away from Earth - for the first time in almost six months. After months of troubleshooting, staff at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California uncovered the root cause. Unable to repair a malfunctioning chip the team devised a groundbreaking solution they redistributed the affected code across multiple locations within the memory, ensuring its functionality and updating references to its new locations. On 18 April 2024, engineers successfully relocated the code responsible for packaging engineering data, a crucial step in restoring communication. Despite the vast distance - over 15 billion miles from Earth - it took approximately 22 ½ hours for signals to travel to and from Voyager 1. When confirmation arrived on 20 April, it signaled the first successful data transmission in five month. Launched over 46 years ago, the Voyager missions represent an unparalleled feat of exploration. Having journeyed beyond our solar system, they remain humanity's farthest-reaching emissaries, having provided invaluable insights into the outer reaches of space after their historic encounters with Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.
