Inmate gets 15 extra days for distracting sniffer dog

    A dog-loving inmate has another 15 days behind bars to think about distracting a canine unit at the Drumheller Institution.
    Alan Knapcyzk appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, March 8. He pleaded guilty to obstructing a peace officer in the execution of duty.
    On October 30 of last year, a corrections officer with a sniffer dog was at the Drumheller Institution. Knapczyk interfered with the investigation by distracting the dog, calling “here boy.” He was asked to stop, but he continued to call the dog.
    Knapczyk was given a 15 day sentence to be served concurrently to his existing sentence.
