By Mike Vlasveld

The Ottawa Police Service is issuing a warrant for the arrest of a 26-year-old man who was ordered by a Justice of the Peace to go to a rehab facility, but didn't show up.

Dylan Meulmeester was released by a judge after contesting a bail hearing on Tuesday, September 7. 

Police believe Meulmeester stole a vehicle with a replica handgun on July 14, and continued to commit crimes in various parts of Ottawa and the Valley, injuring an officer and civilians in the process. 

Smiths Falls Police have also issued a warning to the public to keep an eye out for the 26-year-old.

Anyone with information regarding Meulmeester's whereabouts is asked to contact their local police station or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
