The accused was found not criminally responsible for uttering threats and assault against his former intimate partner.

At the initial disposition hearing, the Ontario Review Board considered whether the accused posed a significant threat to public safety.

Relying on psychiatric evidence of the accused's bipolar disorder, cannabis use, history of medication non-compliance, and poor insight, the Board concluded that a detention order was necessary.

The Board ordered detention with privileges for community living in approved accommodation, subject to conditions including abstaining from substances and having no contact with the victim.
