#VPDNews: A violent offender who was arrested by the VPD earlier this month has been released back into the community. Jordan McIntosh was previously released into the community last September. He was serving a conditional sentence order related to two counts of assault and one count of breach release order from a 2024 incident. McIntosh was bound by several conditions which included wearing an ankle monitor. After cutting off his ankle monitor and going on the run on December 4, investigators with the VPD’s Intimate Partner Violence and Risk Assessment Unit became involved due to McIntosh’s history of violence against women. Detectives and District Five officers received information on March 2, and tracked McIntosh to a rooming house on Water Street. “McIntosh tried to escape by jumping out of a window,” said VPD Sergeant Adam Donaldson. “Fortunately, our officers planned for that scenario, and he was taken into custody with the help of a police dog.” McIntosh was held in custody for a breach of conditional sentence order hearing that took place yesterday. The court ultimately decided to release him back into the community to serve his sentence with another ankle monitor, rather than keep him in custody. McIntosh has 49 criminal convictions, including 11 for violence or weapons.
