A Windsor man is facing firearm and drug trafficking charges after being arrested for violating bail conditions.

In January, the 52 year old was granted bail on multiple charges, including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, three count of possession of a prohibited loaded firearm, and eight counts of possession of firearm while prohibited.

According to police, his release order included house arrest and electronic monitoring. Bail compliance officers investigated and found the man had breached the conditions of his release order on several occasions.

On Tuesday, bail compliance officers, with the assistance of the OPP-led Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (R.O.P.E.) Squad, located and arrested the man at a home in the 1200 block of Marie Street.

He is now charged with two counts of failure to comply with a release order.

Additionally, officers arrested his surety, a 69-year-old woman, charging her with one count of facilitating a breach of a release order.
