VIOLATED PROBATION CONDITIONS
A 17-year-old youth will appear in bail court this morning after being arrested yesterday regarding an incident on August 30th. On the 30th, officers from the problem-oriented police unit were checking individuals to ensure that court ordered curfews were indeed being abided by.

When officers checked to ensure the youth was in his residence for the 9 pm curfew, he was not to be found. A warrant was subsequently requested. Yesterday the youth was arrested and charged with one count of breach of a release document.


TRESPASS BY NIGHT
21-year-old Shawn Reedy of 2-336 Albert Street East was arrested this morning in the City’s downtown area after alert patrol officers spotted the accused hanging around cars at 5:30 am. The officers recognized Mr. Reedy, who had been drinking, and a check revealed that he had a curfew, and was also not to consume alcohol.

Mr. Reedy went into a backyard to avoid the officers who followed him there. As the officers were arresting Reedy for breaching release orders and probation orders, he fled from them on foot. After jumping a fence with officers in pursuit, Reedy was arrested without incident and taken into custody.
