Sexual offender arrested in Sask. after leaving B.C. halfway house
Joseph Davis apprehended in Langenburg, Sask., two days after leaving Vancouver
A repeat sexual offender has been arrested in Saskatchewan after failing to return to a halfway house in Vancouver.
A Canada-wide warrant was issued for the arrest of Joseph Davis earlier in the week after he breached the conditions of his long-term supervision order.
Police say Davis was arrested near Langenburg, Sask. around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday after a citizen called in with a tip, having recognized Davis' car from media reports.
Langenburg is about a four-hour drive west of Winnipeg.
Davis, 46, served four years in jail for sexual assault. He was convicted after luring a 50-year-old real estate agent into his Winnipeg home and attacking her in 2007.
Six years earlier, Davis was convicted of forcible confinement and assault causing bodily harm after attacking a sex worker at his house.
