Matt was released under "promise to appear" conditions, he can't be
around any hydro grow equipment.

The officers left Matt his Medicine, and left him in relative peace.

He's back in the city soon, we all warmly await his arrival...

- They apparently initially went to Matt's Apartment to answer a fire alarm. Once inside Fire officials found the grow but were also aware of who's residence they were in as Matt is quite well known in St. Catharines. The Fire officials hoped that the grow was legit and contacted Health Canada for confirmation but Health Canada then informed them that it was not registered witch is why police were then called to take things from there.
