Fash was released from custody earlier this year and had been living in the Edmonton area. Fash has a violent criminal history and police believe the 40-year-old will commit another violent offence while in the community.
The Edmonton Police Service has issued public warnings about his release, as well as reminding the public of the conditions he must abide by.

Fash was charged with breach of recognizance and resisting arrest.
