A woman charged with abducting and trying to kill a 14-month-old baby had walked out of jail only days earlier following a string of recent arrests, according to court documents obtained by the Free Press.
Nikita Solange Eaglestick, 19, was out on bail at the time of Tuesday morning's horrific attack in Winnipeg's inner city. The Crown had consented to her release on Aug. 28, despite the fact she was facing a total of 14 criminal charges, including nine alleged breaches of previous court orders stemming from the past two months.
No explanation was provided to the court because there was no contested bail hearing.
Eaglestick, who has no prior criminal record of convictions, was initially arrested on July 10 in her home community of Little Grand Rapids. She was charged with assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm after a woman was allegedly attacked with a screwdriver.
RCMP released her on a promise to appear in court with several conditions. She was taken into custody days later after allegedly violating terms of her release by drinking alcohol and "failing to keep the peace" on at least two occasions.
Eaglestick applied for bail on Aug. 4 and was released, with the consent of the Crown, on similar conditions.
She was re-arrested on Aug. 21 after allegedly being found intoxicated on the remote Manitoba reserve. Eaglestick was also accused of threatening to kill two RCMP officers and resisting arrest.
Eaglestick spent another week behind bars until her Aug. 28 bail hearing in Winnipeg. The Crown agreed to her release, provided she not return to Little Grand Rapids. Her lawyer told court she would live at a residence on Selkirk Avenue in the North End. Eaglestick was once again ordered to abstain from alcohol.
Police have now charged her with attempted murder, abduction, aggravated assault and failure to comply with conditions of her bail following Tuesday's incident. Eaglestick is being held in custody at the Winnipeg Remand Centre. All of her pending charges will appear on today's court docket in Winnipeg.
None of the allegations has been proven and she is presumed innocent.
Eaglestick is a member of Bebo, a social-networking website, and last updated her profile in mid-August. She publicly stated her desire to one day attend university and hopefully become a psychologist. She also talked of eventually wanting to become a mother "in six or seven years."
