A 50-year-old man facing drug trafficking and firearm-related charges has been arrested after Windsor police say he breached his bail conditions.
In October 2024, he was granted bail on multiple charges, including possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking (x 2), possession of a prohibited firearm without a licence, possession of a firearm while prohibited (x 9), possession of property obtained by crime (x 3), breach of probation, and failure to comply with a release order.
As a part of his release conditions, he was subject to house arrest and electronic monitoring.
Bail compliance officers investigated and determined that he had breached the conditions of his release order. Bail compliance officers, with assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police-led Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) Squad, located and arrested him in the 3800 block of Vaughan Street.
He has been charged with failure to comply with a release order.
The bail compliance officers are part of the Offender Management Unit, a partnership between the Windsor and LaSalle Police Services launched in March 2024.
