Kitchen pled guilty to three of his five original counts as well as a Section 117, which would require an immediate forfeiture of all his firearms, not just those involved in the incident, for the next five years. Judge R.G.E. Hunter found Kitchen guilty of careless storage of a firearm, careless storage of ammunition and possession of a controlled substance. He was sentenced to pay a $250 fine for each convicted count as well as a 12- month probation term in addition to the five-year weapons prohibition. Kitchen was travelling through North Huron, police said, when he entered a RIDE checkpoint and police notice a shotgun in plain sight as well as several marijuana cigarettes in a clear pill bottle in plain view on the passenger seat of Kitchen’s car. In addition to the gun, Kitchen also had several shotgun shells that he was transporting in an unsafe manner, police said. Crown Attorney Clayton Conlan said that the gun was loaded and the safety was off when police recovered the shotgun. Upon further questioning, Kitchen revealed that he had several other firearms at his girlfriend’s home in Goderich, some registered and some unregistered. Once Kitchen was arrested, he was detained in Wingham and questioned about his other firearms in the concern of public safety. Police say that once they arrived at Kitchen’s girlfriend’s house, they found nine firearms, over 6,000 rounds of ammunition and several pictures of Kitchen posing with the aforementioned firearms, as well as pictures of him posing with an outdoor marijuana grow operation, something Kitchen denied, but Hunter deemed inconsequential to the case since there were no charges pertained to an outdoor marijuana grow operation. Kitchen said he would need one year to pay his fines in their entirety. PASSING BAD CHEQUES Darrell McIntyre was found guilty of several counts of property damage and settled seven counts of false pretenses, paying off bad cheques that he passed to several local businesses in May of 2008, including the Winthrop General Store, Radford’s Fuels and Scrimgeour’s Food Market. McIntyre, now of Collingwood, formerly of RR3, Lucknow, was found guilty of damaging a 2007 Toyota Sienna, as well as a 1999 Dodge Caravan in separate incidents. McIntyre pled guilty to the two mischief charges, as well as taking a vehicle without permission and careless driving. McIntyre was ordered to pay restitution to the owners of the Dodge Caravan, who were his landlords at the time. Conlan said that after a dispute between the two parties, damage was done by McIntyre to the Caravan, breaking the rear window and a tail light. McIntyre was ordered to pay the $300 insurance deductible to the family, as well as an additional $1,237.38 to the insurance company to cover the balance of the damages. The balance of the charges stemmed from an incident on Blyth Road on August 15, 2009, where McIntyre and his then girlfriend were visiting the girlfriend’s grandparents. McIntyre was involved with a verbal altercation with his girlfriend’s grandfather and he left in her car, taking her with him. From this incident, came the other charges, of mischief and careless driving. Once the car was stopped, Conlan said, McIntyre kicked the car. The car, however, has since been sold and the damage was never repaired. McIntyre, in addition to the restitution, was ordered to pay a $500 fine for the careless driving charge. MISCHIEF Corey Gibson of RR1, Fordwich pled guilty to mischief, resulting in $1,000 of restitution stemming from the Sept 12, 2009 incident. Gibson, Conlan said, trespassed on a Howick property at approximately 3 a.m. and shot the victim’s Corvette, house, motorcycle and a cage full of cats with a paintball gun, causing significant damage. Gibson, who took part in this with another person, had his paintball gun seized as a result of the incident. Gibson was ordered, in addition to his restitution, to stay away from the victim’s property. ASSAULT Kyle Procter pled guilty to assault in relation to an incident involving his then girlfriend on January 11. Conlan said the incident began with a heated verbal exchange between the two, which led to “chest-to-chest arguing”. Procter then pushed his girlfriend back with both hands into a window, after which she responded by pushing him back, Conlan said. A tussle then ensued with Procter ending up on top in a choking position, Conlan said, something Procter disputed. Upon getting up, the pair continued to struggle and Procter pushed his girlfriend into a door, which resulted in her splitting her lip, Conlan said. Procter was granted a conditional discharge with 12 months probation. Procter’s defense counsel said that counselling had already been sought by Procter and the Children’s Aid Society had already signed off, allowing Procter to see his child, whom he fathered with the victim, if he so wishes. TEXT MESSAGE THREATS Shane Hoyle, formerly of Wingham, now of Brampton, pled guilty to uttering threats to his then girlfriend. The incident, which took place in Wingham on April 5, involved Hoyle threatening to damage his girlfriend’s apartment while she wasn’t there, damaging many of her baby items for their child, Conlan said. Hoyle was staying at the apartment while his girlfriend was in Brampton and he began sending her text messages, saying that he would “trash” her apartment, Conlan said. Hoyle had been staying there on his own for three or four weeks, Conlan said. Hoyle was given a condition discharge by Hunter with 12 months probation. He was also instructed to not have any contact with his now ex-girlfriend unless it was to arrange visitation with the couple’s child. POSSESSION Andrew Pfaff was given a conditional discharge and six months probation after marijuana was found in his car during a traffic stop in North Huron. Federal Crown Attorney Mike Donnelly said Pfaff was in possession of 128 grams and that the bag was in plain view of the Wingham Police officer conducting the traffic stop. By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen Weapons ban for local man On July 14, at approximately 1 p.m., a Goderich woman received a call from a female who identified herself as the woman’s daughter. The victim stated that the woman sounded a bit like her daughter. The “daughter” stated, “Mom, I need help, I'm in Montreal, Sally won tickets to a concert for two, all paid. After the concert I was driving a car, hit another car and was then rear ended. I have some stitches in my lip. Sally has a neck brace on because the air bag opened. Don't tell dad but I need money.” At that point a man came on the phone and stated he was a lawyer in Montreal and he has taken the case. He advised the victim to send $5,000 by Western Union to repair the cars and cover legal expenses. The male stated he would call back for the 10- digit number for the Western Union transfer. The victim made arrangements for the transfer and at 2:15 p.m. the man called back and the victim provided him with the 10- digit transfer code. The male stated “Your daughter will call you shortly to let you know all is OK.” The end result of this story is that the caller got the victim’s money. The daughter never called back because this was a scam. The “lawyer’s” name used was a valid name in Montreal and he was in court at the time of the scam. At approximately 10 p.m. the victim received a second phone call from the same female and same phone number (which does not work for incoming calls). The female stated “Mom, I'm so tired. I got all the paperwork done.” At this point the victim asked the female for her phone number so she could call her “daughter” back. The female abruptly hung up the phone. Pressure is the tactic used here. There is an urgency presented to the victim that causes them to make hasty decisions. This is a popular scam this spring and we are urging people to be prepared and vigilant of these scam artists. If you think it might be a true family member in distress, ask them some personal questions that would only be known by “the real McCoy”. 72-year-old woman scammed of $5,000 By Denny Scott The Citizen Don’t Shell Out a Lot of Cash;Use the Classifieds.
