A New Hazelton man is wanted on multiple warrants after he allegedly fled from a rehabilitation facility.
On January 25, 2023, Buddy Douglas Shanoss was released into the care of a rehabilitation centre but subsequently left the facility.
According to police, Shanoss is now wanted on multiple outstanding warrants for his arrest for a number of offences including possession of a firearm contrary to an order; flight from police; dangerous operation of a motor vehicle; uttering threats; assaulting a peace officer with a weapon; mischief; driving while disqualified; escaping lawful custody; theft of motor vehicle, and assault with a weapon.
In December, New Hazelton RCMP were on the hunt for him after he escaped from Wrinch Memorial Hospital in a stolen car. Court records indicate Shanoss was apprehended shortly after.
