A convicted killer from Alberta was arrested and released this week after allegedly skipping a sentencing hearing last month for a 2023 stranger assault in Richmond.
Vancouver police Sgt. Steve Addison confirmed Curtis George McCallum, 50, was taken into custody near Vancouver General Hospital at West 12th Avenue and Oak Street on Oct. 9 on five outstanding warrants.
An arrest warrant was issued for McCallum on Sept. 12, when he allegedly failed to appear in Richmond Provincial court for sentencing on charges of assault and mischief.
According to the BC Prosecution Service, the court had ordered a pre-sentence report with a psychological component after McCallum pleaded guilty in February to assault causing bodily harm in a random attack at a transit station last year.
On July 19, 2023, Metro Vancouver Transit Police responded to a report of an assault on the platform at the Bridgeport Canada Line Station in Richmond.
