Warrant issued for man accused of using counterfeit cash, fleeing from police

An arrest warrant has been issued for a 27-year-old man who allegedly used counterfeit cash to make $700 in fraudulent purchases at local stores and then fled from police officers. 

On May 11, 2025, a male suspect entered a department store in the 7100 block of Tecumseh Road East and used counterfeit $100 bills to purchase multiple items.

· Uttering counterfeit money (x 2)

Man facing assault charges arrested for violating bail conditions twice in six weeks

Case #: 25-18975
Man facing assault charges arrested for violating bail conditions twice in six weeks

The Windsor Police Service has arrested a 33-year-old man for violating his bail conditions for the second time in six weeks.

In November 2024, Shayne Ellis was granted bail from a Hamilton court while facing charges of assault with a weapon, possession of property under $5,000, and failure to comply with a release order (x 2). His release conditions included house arrest in Windsor with electronic monitoring, and prohibition from driving due to his status as a suspended driver.

On January 27, 2025, bail compliance officers arrested Ellis for breaching his conditions. He was subsequently released under the same conditions.

Another investigation was launched on February 27, 2025 after police received information that Ellis had breached his conditions once again.

On March 4, 2025, bail compliance officers, alongside the OPP-led Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (R.O.P.E.) Squad, located and arrested Ellis at a residence in the 5500 block of Clarence Dr. He has been charged with failure to comply with a release order and driving while under suspension.

Additionally, officers arrested Ellis’s surety, 31-year-old Olivia Avery Drouillard, charging her with one count of facilitating a breach of a release order. A surety is an individual who agrees to supervise an accused person while they are out on bail and ensure compliance with their release conditions.

The bail compliance officers are part of the Offender Management Unit, a partnership between the Windsor and LaSalle Police Services to supervise high-risk individuals placed under house arrest, curfew, or electronic monitoring. The Offender Management Unit is supported through a grant from the Government of Ontario, as part of the provincial government’s strategy to strengthen Ontario’s bail system.

To report an individual who isn’t complying with their release conditions, please contact Windsor Police at 519-255-6700. You can also contact Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
