The investigation determined two men assaulted another man and stole a bottle of alcohol from him. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and the two suspects were left in a vehicle.

One of the men, Waylon Daniels, was arrested later that day following a standoff with police. He is scheduled back in court on Feb. 23.

And Lafond, who was arrested two weeks after the incident, has had his matters adjourned to March 9. This will allow him time to get a lawyer.

In addition to the curfew, Lafond is also prohibited from driving, cannot possess any form of weapon, cannot possess alcohol or drugs. He has also been enrolled in the electronic monitoring program.
