Faton Miftari, 40, of Fort McMurray was supposed to meet with his probation officer on Thursday. A warrant for his arrest was issued when he missed the meeting. Miftari is charged with breaching a probation order.
Edmonton police say Miftari has been banned from any University of Alberta campuses or properties after receiving multiple reports last January of a man following or harassing women on campus. He has also been convicted of criminal harassment and breaking and entering in Ontario.
Miftari was arrested in September 2023 and charged with criminal harassment after a woman in southeast Edmonton told police a man was repeatedly watching her home, coming onto her property, banging her door and looking inside her home through a window.
