A Winnipeg firefighter, Christopher Goethals, has been released from custody after admitting to breaching a conditional sentence order. Goethals, 59, was previously jailed for criminally harassing two different women. On July 21, he was arrested after an alert from his ankle monitor showed he had driven within 400 metres of his former girlfriend's workplace.
Goethals pleaded guilty to not having a copy of his conditional sentence order. Crown attorney Amanda Heslop withdrew a breach charge and stayed a third charge of disobeying a court order. The annual payment for his conditional sentence is $205.00 + GST for one year.
