WINDSOR POLICE NEWS RELEASE

Case #: 25-8799

Man facing drug and firearm charges arrested for bail violations 

The Windsor Police Service has arrested a 50-year-old man for breaching his bail conditions after he was released on drug trafficking and firearm-related charges.

In October 2024, Charles Hetry was granted bail on multiple charges, including possession of a schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking (x 2), possession of a prohibited firearm without a licence, possession of a firearm while prohibited (x 9), possession of property obtained by crime (x 3), breach of probation, and failure to comply with a release order.

As a part of his release conditions, Hetry was subject to house arrest and electronic monitoring.

Bail compliance officers investigated and determined that Hetry had breached the conditions of his release order. Bail compliance officers, with assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police-led Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) Squad, located and arrested Hetry in the 3800 block of Vaughan Street. 

He has been charged with failure to comply with a release order. 

The bail compliance officers are part of the Offender Management Unit, a partnership between the Windsor and LaSalle Police Services launched in March 2024. This unit supervises high-risk individuals placed under house arrest, curfew, or electronic monitoring and ensures that those who violate their judicial release orders are held accountable. The Offender Management Unit is funded by a grant from the Government of Ontario as part of the province’s strategy to strengthen Ontario’s bail system.
