LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge Police say a convicted violent offender has been released from prison and is set to reside in the area.

He was serving time for assault and uttering threats.

Emmelkamp has a history of violent offences against those he is domestically involved with and police believe he is a high-risk to re-offend.
