NANAIMO — A local man is the subject of multiple arrest warrants stemming from an October 2021 altercation.

RCMP said 32-year-old Dayton Anderson missed a scheduled court appearance to answer to charges of break and enter and assault from an Oct. 8, 2021 incident.

It’s alleged Anderson broke into the home of a 52-year-old man, attacked him by punching him in the face which caused the victim to fall off their deck.

Aside from a split lip, the victim escaped major injury.

Police were able to identify him through working with the local Block Watch program and arrested him on Oct. 9, 2021. He was subsequently released in anticipation of his most recent appearance .
