City man arrested on day-parole violation
Catlin Morehouse, 34, was arrested in Fredericton on Tuesday on Canada-wide warrant and returned to federal correctional facility to continue with prison sentence
A Fredericton man whom city police arrested on a Canada-wide warrant had been wanted by federal correctional officials for an alleged parole violation, the police force reports.
The Fredericton Police Force issued an alert through social media Tuesday afternoon seeking information from the public about the whereabouts of Catlin Morehouse, 34.
It said Morehouse was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant, though the advisory didn’t indicate the grounds for the warrant.
It also warned members of the public not to approach him.
Before the afternoon was over Tuesday, the police force followed up and announced Morehouse had been located and apprehended.
City police spokesperson Sonya Gilks told the Fredericton Independent on Wednesday that Morehouse wasn’t being sought on suspicion of a new offence.
“Catlin Morehouse was arrested at a location on Fredericton’s north side on the afternoon of Tuesday, Aug. 15,” she wrote in an email.
“The Canada-wide warrant issued was a warrant of apprehension, suspension and recommitment to custody of day parole; therefore Mr. Morehouse will be returned to a correctional facility without additional court appearance.”
