Pelletier was the subject of a similar public warning by the Vancouver Police Department in 2024 after he moved into a halfway house.

In 2025, he was arrested after a woman reported a man masturbating in the laneway and peeping into homes near Woodland Drive and East Broadway. He was found guilty of breaching a long-term supervision order.

Pelletier is described as 6-foot-2, with short black hair, brown eyes and a heavy build.

He will be under electronic monitoring, said police, and is required to comply with several conditions, including not going within two blocks of the 2500-block of Woodland Drive in Vancouver; not buying, possessing or using alcohol or drugs; and a curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
