Fairview RCMP make a pair of unrelated arrests while executing a warrant

A prolific offender and wanted individual was arrested after Fairview RCMP executed an arrest warrant at a residence on Thursday, Feb. 26.

Mounties say the warrant was successful and 40-year-old Bonnie Casselton, a resident of Fairview, was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant for charges that include break-and-enter, possession of break-in tools, mischief, possession of a controlled substance and failure to comply with a release order.

She was brought before a justice of the peace and released from custody with a court date set for Mar. 23.

However, a second, unrelated arrest was made before Mounties executed the warrant, as while approaching the residence, Officers noticed a vehicle running in the driveway with the driver, “a known prolific offender,” asleep behind the wheel with drug paraphernalia.
