A 46-year-old Wallaceburg man accused of child luring is in more trouble with the law after he allegedly skipped a court date and breached his release conditions.
Police said they arrested the man on Albert Street in Wallaceburg at around 10:30 p.m. Monday.
Officers said he was initially charged with child luring and was wanted on an outstanding warrant for failing to attend court.
