Canada-wide warrant issued for offender serving sentence for manslaughter: Saint John police

A man convicted of manslaughter reportedly failed to arrive at a Saint John halfway house.

Police are trying to track down a federal offender serving a sentence for manslaughter after they say he failed to report to a correctional centre in Saint John, N.B.

The Saint John Police Force says 28-year-old Michael Fallon was last seen leaving the Springhill Institution in Springhill, N.S., on Tuesday.

Fallon was supposed to report to the Parrtown Community Correctional Facility – a halfway house for criminals nearing the end of their sentence – in Saint John, but police say he failed to do so.

A Canada-wide warrant has now been issued for Fallon for allegedly violating the conditions of his statutory release.

Police say Fallon is a first-time federal offender serving an eight-year, two-month and eight-day sentence for the following convictions:

• manslaughter
• assaulting a peace officer
• assault
• obstructing the public/peace officer
• two counts of possession of a weapon contrary to a prohibited order
• two counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000

Police are warning the public not to approach Fallon.

Investigators are asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to call the Saint John Police Force at 506-648-3333.
