The Ontario Review Board held an annual hearing to review the disposition of the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for being unlawfully in a dwelling house, resisting arrest, and failing to comply with probation.
The accused has diagnoses of schizophrenia and severe substance use disorders.
The Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to the safety of the public due to his history of violence, major mental disorder, persistent substance use, and lack of insight.
The Board ordered the continuation of the detention order at the Brockville Mental Health Centre, with a modification restricting community living privileges to Eastern Ontario.
