A dangerous offender on the loose in the city is back in police custody.

Police issued a warning to the public earlier this week after 43-year-old Michael Crowell didn’t check back in at his Halifax area halfway house.

He was convicted in a violent crime in which he beat his friend to death.

Police say they found him at a home in Sheet Harbour.
