Hanson agreed to court-ordered conditions to report to police on a weekly basis for a year. However, he underwent little or no treatment while in jail and the Correctional Service of Canada has deemed him a high risk to re-offend.
Hanson served an aggregate sentence of two years and eight months for weapons offences, uttering death threats, and unlawfully being in a dwelling.
He is considered by police to be a violent offender whose criminal history includes violent offences such as assaults and unlawful confinements.
In 2003, the RCMP emergency response team was called to Tofield after Hanson was seen carrying a high-powered rifle. He vowed not to be taken alive by police.
Earlier, Hanson, armed with an ice pick and sledgehammer, had been the subject of a manhunt after he was locked out of a house and threatened to kill its occupants. A van was attacked with the hammer and a neighbour was chased by a man wielding an ice pick.
Hanson, 42, is described as Metis, 6-feet 4-inches, 245 lbs, with a medium complexion, short black hair and has a scar on his right eyebrow. He may now be sporting a slight black moustache.

On June 12th, 2006 Edmonton police issued a warning about a man they consider to be a violent offender.
Anthony Littlebear Desmoulin was released from the Ft. Saskatchewan Correctional Centre on June 10th after serving 488 days for manslaughter, assaulting a peace officer, causing a disturbance, two counts of failing to appear and being intoxicated in a public place.
Detective Wil Tonowski of the Edmonton Police Service high-risk offender unit said, “One of the things that disturbs us most is Desmoulin’s lack of remorse, shame in an incident like this. His behaviour in the institution was poor.”
Tonowski added Desmoulin was fighting, not following the rules and not receiving any treatment for anger and violence.
Desmoulin's manslaughter charge stemmed from an incident that took place June 7th, 2004 in front of the Stanley A. Milner Library.
At his trial court heard Desmoulin was begging for money and approached Mustafa Mohammad, then 30. Mohammad told Desmoulin to "f--- off" and the two engaged in a fight.
When Mohammad bent over to pick up his keys, Desmoulin -- who was wearing steel-toed work boots -- kicked him in the head.
Mohammad fell and cracked his skull on the pavement. He was taken to hospital in a coma and on June 18th, 2004 he was taken off life-support and died.
Anthony Littlebear Desmoulin, 23, is native, 5-feet 10-inches weighing 161 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a moustache and a beard.
He has a scar and a tattoo of a spider web on his right wrist, and a tattoo of a cross on his left arm.
On June 27th, 2006 provincial court Judge Michael Stevens-Guille ordered Desmoulin to regularly report to police.
Under a Section 810 order, Desmoulin must abide by the conditions of a peace bond or face being jailed. Stevens-Guille set the amount of the bond, which lasts for one year, at $500.
Since his release from jail, police said Desmoulin was getting into fights behind bars, not following rules and not taking any treatment for anger and violence.
Crown prosecutor Allison Downey said Desmoulin suffers from atypical fetal alcohol syndrome and has been diagnosed with an oppositional defiance disorder.
Defence lawyer Laurie Wood said Desmoulin, who is currently living at the Herb Jamieson Centre, was not happy with the peace bond. Desmoulin said he would abide by the conditions and has already reported to police without problem.
Desmoulin told the judge he understands the conditions but is concerned about the ban on drugs and booze.
"I'm scared of relapsing because I'm living downtown and near the streets," said Desmoulin.
Detective Tonowski warns the public to stay away from Desmoulin.

Detective Wil Tonowski of the Edmonton Police Service high-risk offender unit said Durocher will enter the EPS high-risk offender program with requirements to report weekly or as directed.
“If this guy moved next door to you, you’d feel there was a moral obligation for someone to tell you that this high-risk individual is living beside you,” Tonowski said.
Durocher is a native male, 42 years old, 5’6”, 165 lbs, black hair, brown eyes, tattoos of roses, ‘Norma’ and the grim reaper on left arm; an eagle, banner, marijuana leaf and ‘S.J.C.’ on right forearm; reaper & dragon on chest; a black panther on right upper arm; scars on left elbow, lip and bridge of nose.
