A 59-year-old Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service member has been charged after allegedly breaching a protection order while working.

Winnipeg police say Christopher Bruder Goethals was required to stay a certain distance away from a protected person under the terms of his protection order. Police allege that on July 15, while working modified duties in full WFPS uniform and driving a fleet vehicle, Goethals entered an area in violation of the order.

Goethals was charged with disobeying an order of the court. He has been detained in custody.
