He is described as being 5’10” tall and 190 lbs. with brown hair and brown eyes.

The Calgary Police Service (CPS) said the warning about Scott was issued as they believe it’s “clearly in the public interest.” They are, however, warning members of the public against taking on any form of vigilante action.

Now that he’s in Calgary, Scott will be monitored by the CPS’ High-Risk Offender Program (HROP).
