The man convicted of killing an Edmonton Police officer more than twenty years ago is behind bars once again, after he was arrested earlier this week on several charges.

Albert Foulston was arrested Tuesday, and faced with several charges including weapons offences, identity theft and drug charges.

The new arrest comes weeks after his sentence for his role in the shooting death of Edmonton Police Officer Ezio Farone in 1990 expired, on January 9 – he was released on parole on August 26.

Foulston was convicted of manslaughter after he and his co-accused Jerry Crews, were cornered by Farone in an alley after a bank robbery.

He has been scheduled to appear in provincial court on Friday.
