THUNDER BAY – A 46-year-old convicted killer is in trouble with the law again.
Eric Thomas Lindstrom, who in 2012 was sentenced to 10 years in prison in connection with the 2009 killing of 36-year-old Richard Ouimet, was arrested on Wednesday at gunpoint by plainclothes police officers near Victoriaville Mall after an alleged kidnapping of a 28-year-old man.
Police say the incident involved the drug trade.
A female also arrested on Wednesday has been released unconditionally.
Ouimet was bound with television cords, beaten and kicked until he died. Lindstrom received 10 years for the killing, eight for manslaughter and two for committing an indignity to human remains, and was given two-for-one credit for time served prior to his Oct. 22, 2012 sentencing.
He now faces charges of kidnapping, assault, uttering threats and breach of probation.
