A Calgary pastor known for opposing and violating public health measures was arrested upon his return to the city for outstanding warrants related to his COVID-19 defiance.
Calgary police confirmed Artur Pawlowski was apprehended by Canadian Border Service Agents on two outstanding warrants issued by local law enforcement for disobeying a court order in June and failing to wear a mask in March.
A video circulating online shows Pawlowski being handcuffed by an officer on a tarmac outside of a plane. He is asked to place his hands behind his back, and in turn, places them behind his head and gets on his knees. The officers can be heard telling him he does not need to be on his knees but he does not stand up until he is in handcuffs.
