The man who shot and killed Toronto police Const. Michael Sweet back in 1980 and was granted day parole over 15 years ago has been arrested in Victoria, B.C.

Victoria police confirm Craig Munro was arrested on July 28 and his parole has been revoked by the Parole Board of Canada.

It’s unclear what he was arrested for.

Munro shot Const. Sweet during a tavern robbery on March 14, 1980. As Munro and his brother negotiated their surrender with police during a 90-minute stand-off, he refused to allow medical help for the officer, who bled to death.
