Edmonton police issued a warning about the release of a convicted violent offender who will be living in the Edmonton area.

Timothy Preddy, 51, is a convicted violent offender, including intimate partner violence, and EPS has reasonable grounds to believe he will commit another violent offence against someone while in the community.

Preddy will be monitored by the Behavioral Assessment Unit of the EPS and must abide by these court-ordered conditions:

  • Must obey a curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily
  • Must not purchase, possess or consume alcohol or drugs.
  • Must not be found in any establishment where the sale of alcohol is the primary focus, such as bars, lounges, nightclubs or taverns.
  • Must not associate with any person, directly or indirectly, with a known criminal record or awaiting prosecution without prior approval.
  • Must not own, possess, carry or have in a place of residence any weapons.

Anyone with information about potential breaches of these conditions can contact EPS at 780-423-4567

EPS states that this information is released so that citizens may take precautions, not for the purpose of encouraging vigilante justice.
