On Monday, police warned he was a high-risk offender and was living in Halifax. Halifax Regional Police said Friday they've been closely monitoring MacIntyre.

Officers arrested him Thursday at 9 p.m. AT.

In a news release Friday, police alleged MacIntyre went to a shopping centre where he obtained a cellphone, which he used to access pornography.

MacIntyre was expected in court Friday to answer five counts of breaching a court order.
