Charles Pantherbone, 30, of Brooks, has been charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and breaking his court ordered release conditions. A bail hearing is scheduled to take place on Feb. 12. Shop break-in Mounties in Brooks are also seeking the public’s help in solving a break-in and theft of two large compressors in mid-December.
