Man accused of attempted murder charged with violating bail conditions

Windsor police have charged a 37-year-old man accused of attempted murder with violating his bail conditions.

Police say Swayze Coore was released on bail Sept. 16 while facing more than a dozen charges, including attempted murder, robbery using a firearm, numerous other firearm-related offences, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, and two counts of failing to comply with a release order. His bail conditions included house arrest and GPS monitoring.

Four days later, Windsor police bail compliance officers launched an investigation and learned that Coore was allegedly breaching the conditions of his release order. On Sept. 23, Windsor police bail compliance officers, along with the OPP-led repeat offender parole enforcement squad, located and arrested Coore on Marion Avenue.

He has been charged with two counts of failing to comply with a release order.

The bail compliance officers are part of the offender managementuUnit, a partnership between Windsor and LaSalle police to supervise high-risk individuals placed under house arrest, curfew, or electronic monitoring.
