Suspect in stabbing of Calgary Transit peace officer to remain in custody while seeking lawyer

The suspect faces charges of assaulting a peace officer causing bodily harm, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon and failing to comply with a release order

The suspect in the stabbing of a Calgary Transit peace officer last week will remain behind bars until at least Friday.

Duty counsel Bob Haslam appeared in Calgary Court of Justice on Monday on behalf of William Cody Woodward and asked Justice Marlene Graham to put the case over until then while the accused seeks legal representation.

“I’ve got an application in (with Legal Aid),” Haslam said.
