The Timmins Police Service arrested a local resident on the strength of an arrest warrant that was executed during the evening hours of Tuesday, Sept. 21 in Timmins.

In response to a call concerning a disoriented person on Algonquin Boulevard, a Timmins Police Service officer recognized the male subject of the call for service as being a wanted person named in a current arrest warrant held by the Timmins Police.

Once medical concerns were addressed, the validity of the warrant was confirmed, and the subject was arrested by the Timmins Police Service.

As a result, Michael Laporte, 30 of Timmins, was arrested on the strength of the warrant.

He remains in police custody awaiting a bail hearing slated for today at the Ontario Court of Justice in Timmins to answer to the charges that resulted in the arrest warrant being issued.
