Police in Saskatoon say the robbery occurred on July 31, but they haven’t laid any charges yet.

Vogelsang is currently in custody in Medicine Hat and hasn’t answered the Regina charges in court yet.

Vogelsang was a journalism instructor at Red River College in Winnipeg from 2002 until 2011.

Before that, he worked as a sports anchor at CKY, which is now CTV Winnipeg, before becoming news director.
