Meerholz On The Streets Again

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C. -  Francois Meerholz, the young man facing deportation and  accused of being a gang member in Prince George, is back on the streets.

At an Immigration Board hearing  earlier this week,  the Board ruled  Meerholz was not in breach of his conditions because he has not been convicted of new charges, only charged.

Meerholz was arrested  a ciuple of weeks ago week ago when Police  responded to a call about  someone breaking into vehicles  in the parking lot of a motel  off  Central Street east.

Meerholz was arrested at the scene and held in custody until a hearing could be held by the Immigration and refugee Board.  At that first meeting he  asked, and was granted, a one week extension.  He consented to remain in custody until  his second hearing which was held this week.

He is expected to be deported to his native South Africa, but  just when that will happen is not certain.
