Man arrested for breaching bail conditions weeks after release

The Windsor Police Service has arrested a 49-year-old man for breaching his bail conditions less than two weeks after being released from custody.

On March 25, 2026, Dale Monforton was granted bail after being charged with two counts of break-and-enter, possession of break-and-enter tools, theft under $5,000, mischief under $5,000, and two counts of failing to comply with a release order. As part of his release conditions, he was required to remain at his residence at all times and wear an electronic monitoring device.

On April 7, Windsor Police bail compliance officers investigated and determined that Monforton had breached his release conditions. Officers learned that his ankle monitor had not been charged, rendering his whereabouts unknown, and further investigation revealed that he was not at his court-approved residence.

Shortly after 1 p.m., officers located and arrested Monforton in the 600 block of Mill Street. He has been charged with three counts of failing to comply with a release order.

The bail compliance officers are part of the Offender Management Unit, a joint initiative between the Windsor Police Service and the LaSalle Police Service. The unit supervises high-risk individuals subject to house arrest, curfews, and electronic monitoring. The Offender Management Unit is supported through funding from the Government of Ontario as part of the province’s strategy to strengthen the bail system.

Anyone wishing to report an individual who is not complying with their release conditions is asked to contact the Windsor Police Service at 519-255-6700. Anonymous tips can also be submitted to Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
