Wanted parolee has been arrested
Jesse Logue, 32, had been sought Canada-wide warrant, Fredericton police reported Friday
A federal parolee has been located and arrested on an outstanding warrant for an alleged violation of his prison-release conditions.
The Fredericton Police Force issued a news release Friday evening, advising that Jesse Logue, 32, formerly of the Fredericton and Moncton areas, was being sought on a Canada-wide warrant.
It said Logue was considered unlawfully at large and was believed to be in the Fredericton area. The police force also noted that people shouldn’t approach Logue should he be spotted.
That social-media post about Logue was removed from Fredericton Police Force feeds Monday, and police spokesperson Sonya Gilks confirmed Logue had been detained.
She referred questions about the time, location and circumstances of his arrest to Correctional Service Canada (CSC).
The Fredericton Independent has reached out to CSC for that information and is awaiting a response.
Logue was sentenced in Moncton provincial court in 2021 to 8½ years in prison for conspiracy to traffic in methamphetamine.
Obviously, that sentence has yet to expire, indicating he was out of prison on parole or a statutory release, subject to conditions, and it means even when on conditional release, he remains under CSC authority.

I’ll never understand why they trust these guys to let them out before their sentence is over. 🤷♀️
