Mackenzie Dawn Hardy was mistakenly released from jail on April 25 after an anonymous individual posing as a crown prosecutor, later found to be her boyfriend, sent fraudulent documents calling for her release to Fort Saskatchewan Correctional Centre.
Hardy, along with her boyfriend, were arrested in Revelstoke, British Columbia on May 27th. Revelstoke is located about 700 kilometres southwest of Edmonton.
Both Hardy and her boyfriend have been taken before a Justice of the Peace and were taken into custody. They will be transported back to Alberta where they will be issued their court dates.
Hardy was arrested in Red Deer facing multiple charges, including possession of stolen property over $5,000, impaired driving, flight from a police officer, possession of methamphetamine, and more. She has now also had escaping lawful custody added to her charge list.
David Joseph Wood, Hardy’s boyfriend, has been charged with assisting escape of prisoner, identity fraud and uttering a forged document.
