Summary
Mr C complained because he did not believe the SPS held a valid warrant to hold him in custody. In response to Mr C's complaint, the Governor had told him the SPS held a valid warrant. In reviewing this complaint, the SPS provided our office with copies of the warrants held for Mr C. These confirmed that the SPS held valid warrants to hold Mr C in custody.
