Fash, who is six-foot-one and 458 pounds, has a history of breaking and entering into homes and public buildings and sexually assaulting known or unknown women within. Police said Fash’s risk for violence and sexual violence increases with the consumption of drugs and alcohol.

Fash was initially released Feb. 13 after the Crown stayed a second-degree murder charge against him. However, on Feb. 21, just over a week later, Fash was re-arrested after he failed to comply with his Sex Offender Information Registration Act (SOIRA) conditions.
