Fonyo ran across Canada in 1985 to raise money for cancer research and he was a one time member of the Order of Canada, but he’s had a number of run-ins with the law since then – collecting a string of convictions for assault and theft.
This latest incident happened in Surrey in 2012.
Fonyo is slated to be back in court in June.
