After receiving a $7,500 fine for the illegal practice of law, Megan Lalonde was finally arrested Tuesday evening by the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).
According to the SQ, the Blainville police department arrested the 24-year-old woman around 5:15 p.m.
This arrest took place while an arrest warrant had been issued against her. Megan Lalonde is expected to appear shortly by videoconference.
Following the statement of offence issued last May by the Barreau du Québec, the latter was able to request a criminal injunction against Mr.me Lalonde, in the event that she continues her illegal activities.
If she breached the terms of the injunction, Mme Lalonde could face contempt of court charges and, ultimately, a prison sentence.
