Police were called to the 1900 block of Victoria Avenue around 2:27 a.m. CST on Nov. 2, 2019, for a report of an assault. Officers were told that two women — ages 33 and 43 — were attacked by a man. 

The women had visible injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. 

Police said further investigation revealed the women had been talking with Patron earlier in the night. It's alleged that Patron offered the women a ride home, they refused, and then he assaulted them. 

Officers spotted a man matching the description walking westbound on Victoria Avenue. Police say they attempted to stop the man "but he refused and carried on." 

Police said they found out the suspect's identity and arranged an interview with him. He was subsequently arrested and charged.

Readers will recall that prior to the election ARC released the names of individuals who signed up as members of the neo-Nazi party which allowed it to gain official status for the then upcoming election:

• The CNP Eligible For Official Party Status Part II: The List
• The CNP Eligible For Official Party Status Part III: The Response to the List Release
• The CNP Eligible For Official Party Status Part IV: The Message Board
• The CNP Eligible For Official Party Status Part V: Antisemitism, Racism, and the Beginning of Infighting

The press release from the RCMP states Patron has been charged with the following:

Assault Causing Bodily Harm [267(b) CC];
Aggravated Assault [268(1) CC]; and
Breach of Probation [733.1(1).

Yeah.... these are very serious charges.

And a breach of probation? That is especially interesting to learn.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Patron appears to be denying the charges:

Well, yeah. When accused of assault causing bodily harm, aggravated assault, and breach of probation (again, what?!?) courts are often involved Travis.

Anyways, given the views of his party regarding women, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised to learn about these charges?

And:

Eventually Patron posted an update on Facebook stating that he would provide a statement:

The statement wasn't really anything more than what he tweeted earlier:

So far the response has been interesting:

I'll be providing more information as the story develops.
