THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 2012.Kitchener woman jailed for five monthsA Kitchener woman wassentenced to a total of five months injail after a lengthy trial in Wingham court on July 12. Judge R.G.E. Hunter sentenced the woman after the case had gone on for over two years, with the original offenses dated April 27, 2010. Donna Jane Young was found guilty of two charges of possession of stolen property, one charge of possession of a stolen credit card and one charge of failing to attend court from Jan. 19, 2012, when her trial was originally supposed to be heard. Young was originally facing 11 charges, but one was dismissed and several others were withdrawn over the course of the trial. Young was found to be in possession of two stolen driver’s licences and a stolen credit card when she was stopped by WinghamPolice on April 27, 2010, said CrownAttorney Chris Uwagboe. The first driver’s licence belonged to Mike Mlotschek of Kitchener. He said he left his wallet in his car one night in 2007 and when he came out to his car in the morning, found that the wallet had been taken after he likely left his car unlocked overnight. The morning he discovered his wallet was missing, he testified, he filed a report with the Waterloo Police reporting his wallet stolen, which contained his driver’s licence and his TD Emerald VISA credit card. Mlotschek said he didn’t hear anything more about his wallet until recently when he was subpoenaed to come to court in Wingham. The second driver’s licence belonged to Renee Carpenter (whohad since married, her name at thetime of the incident was Renee Albers). Carpenter, who also testified at the trial, said she had recently filed paperwork with the Ministry of Transportation to receive a new driver’s licence that would reflect her new address in Kitchener. She never received it in the mail, however. Several event tickets that went missing in the mail as well. Carpenter said she moved to her new home, an apartment complex in Kitchener with approximately 40 units, in January of 2009 and she was expecting her new driver’s licence in the mail in March, 2009. While checking the mail, Carpenter said, she noticed some damage to her mailbox on the inside top corner, that made her suspect that someone was breaking into hermailbox.Carpenter said she made a complaint to the building manager and then to the Waterloo Police, but nothing ever came of it. After doing some more research, Carpenter testified, she had found that several applications had been made in her name for various credit cards, all of which were denied. In addition several event tickets that were never recovered went missing and upon attending the event, Carpenter said she and her boyfriend at the time found people sitting in their seats. The people said they had purchased the tickets from someone online in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. Carpenter said she recognized Young from the apartment complex, saying that she couldn’t confirm that she lived in the building, but saidthat she had seen Young in thebuilding several times in the few months she had lived there before her mail began disappearing. Carpenter said she had seen her frequent an apartment across the hall and several doors over from her. In subsequent weeks, however, there was an eviction notice placed on the door and Carpenter said she didn’t see Young again that until that day in Wingham court. Young’s defense attorney Phil Cornish suggested that perhaps Carpenter could have been visiting family in the Woodstock area and could have lost her licence there, which Young would later suggest, but Hunter said that was not plausible, as Carpenter had never actually received the licence in the • Renovations • New Homes • Sales & Installation of Windows & Doors Call Ken 519-887-9857 Brussels, ON 519-526-7634 ~ Dave Werkema ADDITIONS • RENOVATIONS • GENERAL REPAIRS NEW HOMES C&P PORTABLE TOILETS Teeswater 1-800-834-4414 Ph: 519-392-8474 Fax: 519-392-6168 * Regular Units * Deluxe Units - sink / flush * Handwash Stations * Wedding / Special Event Units * Wheelchair/Infant Care Units * Comfort Station Trailer C&P - for people who are out and “going”!
