Charges have been stayed against the man accused of helping Emrah Bulatci after an RCMP officer was gunned down in the Northwest Territories in 2007.

Jarred Dale Nagle had been charged as an accessory after the fact to murder in connection with the shooting death of Const. Christopher Worden.

However, Alberta Justice spokesman David Dear announced on Friday that charges against Nagle have been stayed.

"All we can appropriately say is that after reviewing the existing evidence against Mr. Nagle, the Crown concluded that the evidence offered no reasonable likelihood of conviction and stayed the charge accordingly," he said.

Worden, 30, was shot and killed in Hay River, N.W.T., in October 2007.

Bulatci was found guilty of first-degree murder in November 2009. He was sentenced to live in prison without a chance of parole for 25 years.

Nagle was in the west Edmonton home where Bulatci surrendered after a police standoff that lasted several hours.

He later testified he had gone to Hay River with Bulatci to sell crack cocaine, and that he was with Bulatci just before Worden was shot.
