As well, two people were arrested on outstanding warrants.
It started early last month, and a new initiative with RCMP West and Labrador District GIS has led to twenty one offender management checks. Last month, officers conducted twenty‑one of these checks and thirteen were found to be fully compliant with their conditions. Six were discovered to be in breach and were charged under the Criminal Code. As well, two people were arrested on outstanding warrants.
Meanwhile, Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey says last Tuesday night, the RCMP West District General Investigation Section (GIS) attempted to conduct a check on 38-year-old Brendan Mullins. He had been released under strict conditions the previous week and was found to be in breach of his release order.
Police located Mullins in Grand Falls-Windsor, and a traffic stop was initiated. Officers attempted to arrest him on charges of breach of a release order and he refused to cooperate. Mullins continued to resist arrest, was physically combative with police and assaulted a police officer.
After his arrest, police determined the vehicle he was operating was uninsured and unregistered, and that Mullins was a suspended driver. The vehicle was seized and impounded.
