Medhani Yohans is back in police custody, less than 24 hours after being released for the third time in a year. The 36-year-old is a known high-risk offender. Guelph Police said Yohans has a history of violence, including two sexual assaults involving strangers. He was arrested in March and released from custody on Thursday afternoon following a sentencing hearing at a Guelph courthouse. Shortly after, police once again issued a warning to the community. Anyone who spotted Yohans was asked to contact police to ensure he was abiding his release conditions. On Friday afternoon, he was arrested again and charged with four counts of breach of probation, disobeying a court order and criminal harassment. Yohans remains in police custody until his next court date on July 28. “The Guelph Police Service extends its thanks to the community for their vigilance and assistance in this matter,” read Friday’s release.
