Police say MacDonald is a violent offender with convictions for assault, armed robbery, robbery, theft under $5,000 and failure to comply with the conditions of a recognizance.
“His victims have included men and women with whom he had no previous relationship,” Cpl. Jennifer Clarke said in a news release Thursday.
MacDonald will have to follow strict conditions for the next two years, which include not possessing weapons and abstaining from consuming, possessing or purchasing alcohol and illegal non-prescription drugs or prescription drugs not prescribed to him by a medical practitioner.
He also is on a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day.
“The purpose of this information is to alert members of the public of MacDonald’s presence so they may take suitable precautions,” the news release reads.
“Any form of vigilante activity or other unreasonable conduct will not be tolerated.”
