Garnier was arrested in Cape Breton after Halifax police alleged they could not find him after numerous attempts to reach him at the two residences where he was allowed to live – one in Cape Breton, the other in the Halifax area.

His lawyer, Joel Pink, has said he plans to fight the charges.
Garnier, who remains in custody, was released on bail last December while awaiting trial in November on charges of second-degree murder and interfering with a dead body in the death of Truro officer Catherine Campbell.
Her remains were found in September 2015 near a bridge in Halifax.
