CORNWALL – The mayor of South Glengarry has been arrested for allegedly violating terms of his bail conditions as he waits to face charges of child luring and sexual assault.
Frank Prevost, 53, was arrested last week by SD&G OPP and charged with failing to comply with conditions of his release order, an OPP spokesman confirmed to Cornwall Newswatch.
Prevost is accused of “attending a public park or swimming area where persons under the age of 16 years are present or can reasonably be expected to be present, or a daycare center, school ground, playground or community center,” the charge reads.
Police found heroin and fentanyl, but they didn t find any guns.
Ten years earlier, a Black man also in his 20s died after a police no-knock drug raid in a Toronto highrise. In that case, an officer shot Eric Osawe and was charged with murder, but threelevels of court concurred that it was an accident.
In 2016, tactical officers in London, Ont., shot dead 35-year-old Sam Maloney at his family home in front of his wife and kids while dynamically executing a search warrant for computer tampering charges.
Maloney was known to distrust authorities and shot the first officer he saw entering his house with a crossbow before running down a hallway holding a hatchet overhead.
