Repeat offender arrested following breach of GPS monitoring

 

The Windsor Police Service has arrested a 36-year-old repeat offender following the unauthorized removal of his GPS monitoring device.

In March 2024, Tristan Henderson-Tymczak was granted bail for 17 charges, including drug trafficking, theft, possession of counterfeit money, and multiple firearm-related offences. His bail conditions included GPS monitoring via ankle bracelet.

On June 25, Henderson-Tymczak removed his GPS monitor and began evading police. On July 30, Windsor Police bail compliance officers and the OPP-led Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) Squad located and arrested Henderson-Tymczak at a residence in the 5400 block of Reginald Street.

 Henderson-Tymczak has been charged with the following offences:

  • Uttering threats to cause bodily harm
  • Failure to comply with release order
  • Assault with a weapon
  • Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle
  • Failing to remain at the scene of an accident

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 team supervises high-risk individuals placed under house arrest, curfew, or electronic monitoring – and ensures that those who breach their judicial release orders are held accountable. The Offender Management Unit is supported through a grant from the Government of Ontario, as part of the provincial government’s strategy to strengthen Ontario’s bail system.
