It's entirely possible. What I'm hearing is that his arrest may not be public record in Canada until charges are filed, which is why it may have taken so long to find out. Down here he would have been arraigned within a day or two and the arrest and charges would be public record. Our privacy laws seem to be less strict. Apparently in Canada, it sounds like charges don't have to be filed until there's a hearing date, which could take a couple of months. Obviously I don't have a clear understanding of the criminal/legal system in Canada and it is quite a bit different, especially with Customs and a border crossing involved. But what I heard is that he was detained, arrested and released. It will all come out during the investigation, I'm sure.
