Parolee detained on two at-large charges
Scott Alexander Morrison, 43, of Fredericton, is back in custody, due back in court April 29
A Fredericton man about whom police issued an alert because he was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant, is in custody and facing two charges alleging he was unlawfully at large.
The Fredericton Police Force issued an advisory in early March asking people for tips on the whereabouts of Scott Alexander Morrison, as he was wanted on a warrant and was believed to be in the Fredericton area.
Such Canada-wide warrants are normally issued for federal prisoners who are on parole or statutory release before the end of their sentences and who are alleged to have violated the conditions of release.
Police subsequently announced April 6 that he’d been located and arrested the night before.
