A man who escaped custody while receiving hospital treatment on November 20th has now been located and arrested.
Police Staff Sgt. Deborah McBride tells 570 News that 34 year old Sidney Reid was arrested Saturday in the Wilhelm and Weber Street area of Kitchener, with the help of the Guelph Police canine unit.
McBride also says that Reid was arrested without incident after a short pursuit on foot.
At the time of his escape, Reid was facing charges stemming from a street-level drug initiative from October and November.

Police would like to thank the public for their assistance in the matter. Reid’s bail hearing is today and he is facing numerous charges, such as possession for the purpose of trafficking, breach of court order, escape lawful custody and resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.
