HALIFAX — Less than a month after being released from prison the woman known as the "Internet Black Widow" is accused of breaching the conditions of her peace bond.
Halifax police say 80-year-old Melissa Ann Shepard faces three counts of breaching the conditions imposed following her release.
Police say Shepard was arrested Monday after an officer observed a woman attempting to access the Internet at the Halifax Central Library.
After she was arrested, police say they found she had a device capable of accessing the Internet, a cellphone, which is also a violation of the peace bond conditions.
Shepard is also charged with breaching a condition that she keep the peace and be of good behaviour.
Police say Shepard was released on a further condition that she not go within a 25 metre radius of any library in the Halifax area and she is to appear in provincial court May 24 to answer to the charges.
