(CBC)The man convicted of manslaughter in the 1990 slaying of Edmonton police officer Const. Ezio Faraone is back behind bars after his statutory release was revoked earlier this month.
Albert Foulston, 48, was charged for driving without a licence in November.
Foulston was released in September 2009 after serving the statutory two-thirds of his 20-year sentence for his role in Faraone's death. This was the second time he had been charged with this offence since leaving prison.
According to parole board documents, police noticed Foulston was driving erratically on Nov. 27. He admitted to consuming two alcoholic drinks, which contravenes one of his release conditions.
His statutory release was revoked on Jan. 5.
Foulston was the getaway driver when his partner Jerry Crews shot Faraone dead in an alley after a botched bank robbery in June 1990.
During his time in prison, Foulston committed dozens of crimes.
He was allowed out of prison under statutory release rules and not due to a decision from the National Parole Board, a spokesman said at the time.
Foulston was to comply with a number of conditions as part of his release, which included living in a halfway house and returning there every night, as well as staying away from drugs, alcohol and known criminals
Foulston will now remain in custody until at least August.
