The RCMP ERT team arrested a fugitive in West Kelowna on Wednesday
For a man from West Kelowna it was a little taste of freedom.
Michael Collins, 43, is back behind bars just eight days after his release.
West Kelowna RCMP and the RCMP Southeast District Emergency Response Team surrounded a house on Margaret Road Wednesday afternoon and arrested Collins.
It is not the first time the ERT has been involved in his arrest.
Collins was taken into custody in early August when the tactical team was deployed to a house on Cougar Road.
He was wanted on numerous charges, including prohibited driving, mischief, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and escaping from the police.
In a press release, Kelowna tells RCMP that Collins was released on August 24 under several severe conditions. Mounties was made aware on August 25 that the man was failing to comply with these terms and, until yesterday, numerous attempts to arrest him had remained unsuccessful.
