Multiple assaults
On April 15, a man was arrested a second time that day, only hours after being released. Earlier on Sunday, he was arrested for assaulting his partner. By 8 p.m. that evening, he was found breaching his new conditions. He was taken into custody until court the following day.
On April 12, the RCMP were called to the 500 block of Second Avenue West, where a man was reported to be assaulting a woman. Several witnesses told the police that the man grabbed the woman by her hair, kneed her and threw her on the ground. One person stopped the assault and several people restrained the man until the police arrived. He was arrested for assault and held in custody until he was released on a promise to appear and a future court date.
Breaching court orders
A woman waved an officer down while they were on patrol at 2:45 a.m. on April 15. She told them a man, who was not allowed to be near her according to his conditions, was talking to her near her vehicle. The man attempted to run away but was caught by the RCMP and arrested for breaching an undertaking, or violating his supervisory orders. He was remanded to court for the next day.
Early morning, on April 9, police were called to Park Avenue where a man was intoxicated. When they arrived, they identified the man and found he is on bail conditions. He was arrested for breaching those conditions and held in custody until court later that day. He was given a suspended sentence for six months after being found guilty of breaching probation.
