    Bay St. George RCMP have apprehended a man with a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest. 

    Matthew Francis O’Quinn, 48, faced allegations of violating the terms of a long-term supervision order stemming from convictions related to "multiple violent offences."

    On Monday, RCMP officers took O’Quinn into custody, and he is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.

    A Stephenville Crossing woman who was reported missing and believed to be with O’Quinn has also been located safely.
