Curtis Sagmoen has been released on bail again.
The North Okanagan man was granted bail on Wednesday after being picked up by police on April 28 for allegedly breaching conditions of his probation. Those conditions were imposed in the wake of a 2019 conviction for pointing a firearm at a sex trade worker.

It was the second time he was said to be breaching his probation in only a matter of days.
On April 26, the day after a charge of assaulting a police officer stayed by the crown, he was arrested and charged with three counts of breaching.
He was later released from custody and then picked up again. He remained in custody from April 28 until Wednesday, May 3, for that. The details of the breach are under a publication ban that was imposed during the latest bail hearing.
Sagmoen’s legal issues have generated a lot of public attention since the remains of a missing teen, 18-year-old Traci Genereaux, were found on Sagmoen’s family farm in 2017.
No one has been charged in connection with her death.
The North Okanagan man has been convicted of assault causing bodily harm and using a firearm during an offence, in cases where the victims were sex trade workers.
In recent weeks, police issued a warning to sex trade workers to avoid the farm where Sagmoen lives.
