A federal offender wanted on a Canada-wide warrant has been arrested.
Derek Powell, 54, was wanted for breaching a supervision order when he “went unlawfully at large” on Feb. 15, Ontario Provincial Police stated in a news release.
On Wednesday, police said Powell had been arrested in Peterborough.
He is serving a long-term supervision order of seven years, six months and 16 days for assault with a weapon, two counts of threatening death and bodily harm, two counts of forcible confinement, two counts of assaulting a peace officer, mischief and four counts of failing to comply with probation order.
Powell was declared a dangerous offender by a Barrie judge more than a decade ago.
