The Winnipeg Police Service says Joey Michael Audy, 35, turned himself in to police Tuesday. He was wanted on charges of attempting to commit murder, assault causing bodily harm, uttering threats, robbery, and forcible confinement.
WPS investigators allege a 27-year-old victim was forced to attend a home on Carlton Street on Dec. 10. Police say the woman was physically assaulted until she lost consciousness and was tied up “for a significant period of time.” They say the suspects forced the still-restrained woman into a dumpster and abandoned her.
“Her screams for help were heard when she was assisted and freed,” police said in a news release last week. She was then taken to hospital, at which point police were notified.
Audy is the second of three suspects arrested. Winnipeg police say Friday shortly after 2 p.m., officers attended a location in Saint Boniface “for an unrelated matter” and arrested 27-year-old Romeo Chris Miles.
He was charged with robbery, forcible confinement, and two counts of failure to comply with the condition of release order. He was detained in custody.
The WPS sex crimes unit is still looking for 40-year-old Evelyn Marie McKay, who is wanted for robbery and forcible confinement. Winnipeg police say the public should not approach the suspect and should call 911.
