On Nov. 18, 2024, at approximately 2:37 a.m., Didsbury RCMP was dispatched to a report of a disturbance at a residence in Cremona. The complainant, who was in Calgary, indicated that there was a male in the residence who was attacking two other occupants.
Upon arrival, RCMP located two individuals, an 86-year-old male and a 59-year-old female, who had been seriously injured and in medical distress. The officer searched the residence and located the suspect in the basement. After a brief confrontation with the officer, the suspect was taken into custody without further incident. Officers then provided first aid to the two injured parties until EMS arrived and took them to a Calgary hospital.

After a Judicial Interim Release Hearing, Ronquist was remanded into custody and will be appearing in Alberta Court of Justice in Calgary on Nov. 20, 2024.
Both victims, who were severely injured, remain in hospital, but are expected to survive.
