Rebecca Reid is back in jail.

The Ottawa mom who already has a 2019 conviction for threatening to kill MPP Lisa MacLeod, was arrested Sunday night and charged with breaching bail conditions — notably that she live with her surety and stay off the internet unless supervised.

Reid, 42, appeared in court Tuesday and was sent back to jail awaiting a hearing later this month.

She was arrested on Feb. 4 following another series of unsettling emails targeting the cabinet minister. Defence lawyer Oliver Abergel won her bail after she spent three nights at the notorious Innes Road jail.

Her Sunday night arrest came after her surety called police under her court-ordered obligation to report any alleged breaches.

The mother of a severely autistic boy, Reid has long directed her anger over the government’s autism strategy toward MacLeod, now Ontario’s minister of tourism, culture and sport.

Reid pleaded guilty to criminal harassment and uttering threats last summer and was spared jail. The judge gave her probation — including an order to leave MacLeod alone — and a 10-year weapons ban.
