Toronto police say a man who was found not criminally responsible for multiple charges of assault in Toronto’s Queen West area has been located.
Police said 44-year-old Troy Warner was last seen on Sunday at around 7 p.m. in the Queen Street West and Ossignton Avenue area and was found on Monday evening.
Police referred to Warner as an “elopee,” which is a person described as a patient subject to detention at a psychiatric facility who leaves without permission.
Investigators said in 2012, Warner was found not criminally responsible for three charges of assault with a weapon and one charge of assaulting a peace officer.
In 2013, Warner was found not criminally responsible for three charges of assault, police added.
Police said Warner is being held under Form 49 “Warrant of Committal”, which is issued by the Ontario Review Board when a person is found not criminally responsible in court. Police said the warrant commits the person to the custody of a provincial psychiatric hospital and subjects them to abide by certain conditions.
