The man who failed to show up for a court proceeding ahead of the second-degree murder trial of his infant son was arrested Monday night.
Joey Crier was arrested by RCMP in Maskwacis and is now in police custody.
Crier, and his then-girlfriend, Tasha-Lee Mack, was charged with second-degree murder after his 19-month-old son was found dead outside a north Edmonton church in April 2017.
A judge has ruled Crier lost the right to a jury trial.
Mack’s trial starts Wednesday.
