00:00:00.000 A Coutts border protester who made headlines last month when he was implicated in his friend's
00:00:04.140 conditional release has now also been charged by the Alberta RCMP. Marco Van Huygenbos told me
00:00:09.640 this week he's been charged with mischief over $5,000 stemming from his involvement with the
00:00:14.060 Coutts border blockade. In late August, Van Huygenbos' close friend and fellow Coutts border
00:00:19.400 protester Alex Van Huygenbos was detained by the RCMP. You guys might remember the story.
00:00:24.160 Officers attempted to get Van Huygenbos to sign a conditional release saying he would end contact
00:00:28.380 with Van Huygenbos. The two have been close friends for years. But that condition was dropped
00:00:32.760 after hundreds of people showed up to the RCMP detachment to protest Van Huygenbos' detainment.
00:00:37.760 I caught up with Van Huygenbos this week and he said he was concerned the RCMP were going to try
00:00:41.600 something similar, especially considering they would have had more time to think about what
00:00:44.960 happened with his friends and to strategize to make sure the same thing wouldn't happen with him.
00:00:49.560 But he had no issues when he turned himself in on Monday to be formally charged. He said things
00:00:54.020 went exactly as planned and noted especially that there was no condition for him to end contact
00:00:58.760 with his friend Alex Van Huygenbos. Quote, in my mind, that was a small win. End quote.
