Offender on bail arrested after cutting off ankle monitor

The Windsor Police Service has arrested a 39-year-old man who cut off his court-ordered electronic ankle monitor just one hour after being released on bail.

On December 24, 2025, Jordan Scott Runstedler was released on bail while facing multiple criminal charges, including theft under $5,000, theft of motor vehicle (x3), and possession of property obtained by crime (x4). As part of his release conditions, he was required to reside with his surety, remain under house arrest, and comply with electronic monitoring.

However, Rundstedler breached those conditions approximately one hour after his release by removing his electronic ankle monitor and fleeing his residence in the 1600 block of Ouellette Avenue.

On January 5, 2026, members of the Problem-Oriented Policing Unit (POP) attempted to arrest Rundstedler at a residence in the 1600 block of St. Luke Road. When officers approached the home, Rundstedler fled through a second-floor window and attempted to escape on foot. He was located a short time later hiding under a nearby porch and was taken into custody without incident.

Rundstedler has been charged with mischief under $5,000 and failure to comply with a release order (x2).

Anyone with information on this investigation is asked to contact the Target Base Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4350. Information can also be provided anonymously through Windsor and Essex County Crime Stoppers at 519-258-8477 or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
