The head of the Domestic Violence Action Team in Lethbridge has resigned amid allegations of an unwanted sexual relationship.

Lethbridge police have issued a warning about Jeremy Emmelkamp, a "violent offender" who has been released from prison and will be residing in the Lethbridge area.

“People are pretty upset right now. It's not the first time that this has happened in the building and the criminal activity around the area is so high."

Police confirmed to Global News the death occurred at the same apartment building where a 43-year-old man was fatally injured during a fight in April 2020.

A 2009 Cadillac SRX was also seized as proceeds of crime as well as $3,410 in cash.

The decision is connected to an incident involving two Lethbridge police officers who put Phillips under unauthorized surveillance at a local restaurant.

Lethbridge city council received the third phase of a fiscal and operational review ordered in 2018.

At around 10:15 a.m., the Lethbridge Police Service said a man threw a package into the front entrance of the station on 135 - 1 Ave. S.

On Wednesday, police arrested the resident during a traffic stop and searched both his vehicle and home.

"I was telling our members, when we have one happen in the states, we all grieve, when it happens here in Canada, we all grieve even more."
