Reimer, 36, has been in custody since his arrest last Thursday on charges of causing a disturbance and mischief in connection with events at a Reading with Royalty drag queen event at a southeast library.Police have labelled the alleged offences as hate crimes. If he were to be convicted and a judge was to agree with that assessment, it would be considered an aggravating factor in sentencing.
A justice of the peace imposed the conditions as part of a release order but Reimer refused to sign them, instead choosing to remain behind bars. According to Calgary police, officers attended the Seton Library at about 11:15 a.m. on Feb. 25 to check on a planned demonstration against the library’s Reading with Royalty drag storytime event.
The officers were called to a library classroom for reports that several people had “aggressively” entered the space and were shouting homophobic and transphobic slurs at the children and parents, Calgary police said in a news release.
