Special prosecutions expected at next appearance for man charged with voyeurism, child porn

By Peggy Revell on April 13, 2018.

A Medicine Hat man facing charges of voyeurism and possessing child pornography had a brief court appearance Thursday, with defence counsel requesting adjournment to May 8 for resolution.

On that date, it’s expected special prosecutions from Calgary will be in attendance for the case of 24-year-old Davis Eichendorf.

Eichendorf was initially arrested Nov. 11 and charged with three counts of voyeurism and three counts of trespass by night. City police allege the man is linked to three similar incidents in March, May and August where a man was looking through bathroom windows at women.

In December, Eichendorf was charged with a single count of possessing child pornography.

Eichendorf has been granted bail.

Murder charge

An adjournment to April 19 was granted Thursday for a Medicine Hat man charged with extortion and first-degree murder in the death of 64-year-old James Satre.

The 56-year-old was originally arrested Nov. 9 on a single count of extortion. The first-degree murder charge was laid in January. He has been in custody since November.

Satre’s body was found on the morning of Oct. 11 in the alleyway by his home near the intersection of Mill Street and Smelter Avenue. Police said Satre appeared to be a “victim of circumstance and location,” and has no apparent connection to the extortion victim or the accused.

Trafficking adjournments

The matter of Lane Hogg was adjourned to April 26. Hogg was one of four people charged following a January investigation into meth trafficking that led to the seizure of three firearms.

The 34-year-old is charged with four counts of drug trafficking, meth possession, trafficking a firearm, trafficking ammunition, possessing the proceeds of crime, two counts of breaching a weapons prohibition and nine other firearms-related offences. He remains in custody at the Medicine Hat Remand Centre.

The matter of Jay Brodie, one of 11 arrested in June 2017 from police attempts to disrupt street-level drug trafficking, was adjourned to May 29. Brodie is charged with trafficking meth, possessing proceeds of crime, possessing stolen property, possessing a dangerous weapon and two probation breaches.

The matter of Haley Glentworth was also adjourned to May 29. The 28-year-old woman was arrested following another street-level drug trafficking investigation in September.

Glentworth is charged with two counts of trafficking cocaine, possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine, possession for the purpose of trafficking heroin and proceeds of crime.
