EDMONTON – Police are warning the public that a violent offender is being released from prison after serving a six-year sentence.

Sean Luther Reaugh was released from the Stony Mountain Institution in Winnipeg on July 10.

He completed a six-year sentence for manslaughter, robbery and conspiracy to commit trafficking in narcotics.

Reaugh is considered by police to be a violent offender who poses a risk of significant harm to the community.

He is living in the Edmonton area and will be closely monitored by the Edmonton Police Service Behavioural Assessment Unit.

Police said they released the information after weighing all related issues, including privacy concerns, and believe informing citizens is in the public interest.

The intent, police said, is to help citizens take precautionary measures, not to encourage vigilante action.
