In 2025, Pelletier was re-arrested in Vancouver after a report that he committed an indecent act.
According to the VPD, officers were called to the area near Woodland Drive and East Broadway after a woman reported an incident to police just before 5 p.m. She told police that a man was masturbating in a lane and looking into houses.
Officers who responded to the scene arrested the suspect, with the department naming the suspect as Pelletier.
