Two drivers were taken off the road for seven days Oct. 17 after being arrested under the street racing legislation. At approximately 11 a.m. a Huron OPP officer patrolling Donnybrook Line stopped a speeder travelling 203 km an hour in a posted 90 km an hour zone. The 22-year-old male from North Huron will appear in court Dec. 4. In addition to having his licence suspended his vehicle was impounded for a week. That afternoon an officer was conducting radar on Aiport Line when a semi-truck was caught travelling 130 kph in a posted 80. The 45-year-old man from Bruce County is facing a charge of racing. He lost his licence and vehicle for seven days. A Bayfield man is going back to jail for another seven months after an appearance in Wingham’s provincial court, Oct. 16. David Ross Stoll pled guilty to break and enter, a charge that dates back to June 17, 2007. Attorney for the Crown Mike Murdoch said in the early hours of that day thieves broke into a residence on Blyth Road in Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh. They cut a padlock off a chest freezer and stole 13 long guns that had been locked inside. Murdoch said police found a cigarette butt at the scene which was sent to the Centre for Forensic Sciences. The DNA matched Stoll’s. While many of the firearms were recovered, the theft had tragic consequences, said Murdoch. He explained that on Aug. 14 there was a standoff with police as part of a domestic situation. “It ended with one person involved using one of these firearms on himself.” The accused told Judge R.G.E. Hunter that while his car was used in the car and he was present, he had not had anything to do with the actual theft or the sale of the guns. “I was there, it was my vehicle.” Stoll said he has been in a treatment centre now, which was part of the reason why he was pleading guilty. “I should have been in treatment before. It has done me a world of good. I’m standing up to what I did, pleading guilty that I was there, but I have no knowledge of where the guns went.” Saying Stoll’s part was minor, defence counsel Grant MacKinnon asked the judge to consider a concurrent sentence, on the 16 months Stoll has already served. However, the fact that the theft had resulted in someone’s death, prompted Hunter to believe Stoll “is as guilty as the others.” He sentenced him to seven months consecutive, with the recommendation that Stoll’s treatment be continued. FAILING TO PROVIDE A SAMPLE Diane Bridges of Wingham pled guilty to refusing to provide police with a breath sample. Murdoch said that on Aug. 9 police, who knew the accused, stopped her for mildly erratic driving and because they believed she didn’t have a driver’s licence, “which turned out to be true.” Bridges failed the roadside test, but refused to provide any subsequent sample. She has no previous similar record. Hunter fined her $1,000. She has six months to pay. SUSPENDED SENTENCE Andrew Douglas John McCallum, now of London, pled guilty to one charge of uttering a threat, one of assault and to two fail to comply charges. Murdoch said on March 30, McCallum had made a threatening remark to the victim. “He meant it as physical, that this person would come to harm of some kind at his hands.” McCallum was on probation at the time. At noon, Feb. 10, McCallum struck another individual in the nose, “for no apparent reason. The victim was caught completely off guard,” said Murdoch. Defence counsel Glenn Carey intimated that his client felt he had a reason. On July 23 McCallum was charged with failing to comply with a court order that he notify police of any change of address. Hunter placed him on 18 months probation and he is prohibited from owning weapons for 10 years. HARRASSMENT A Kitchener man received a suspended sentence and probation for harrassment, break and enter and driving while disqualified. Murdoch said Steve Marche’s former supervisor had contacted police over repeated phone calls. Marche had been let go and there were “on-going” issues. “He had begun a campaign of calling,” said the Crown, adding that over the course of April 19-25 there had been at least 16 calls. In his client’s defence, Tim Macdonald said Marche was trying to get money he was owed. Then on May 31, Marche was operating a small sport motorcycle without a licence on a Wingham street. On the third charge, Murdoch explained that sometime between the evening of July 22 and the morning of July 23, Marche was out with a group of people who broke into a camping trailer. “He, in his words, ‘stood six’,” Murdoch told the judge. “To his credit he didn’t do a very good job.” Seeing what was happening, the victim jumped in the perpetrators’ car, which had Marche’s wife inside, and took off for help, said Murdoch. Murdoch noted Marche has a “considerable” record. However, while he said there were some serious aspects to the break and enter, there is also another side to Marche. The accused, he said, has “sometimes in spite of his record been a decent citizen. He once provided information to police that was helpful in solving a serious offence.” Marche will be on probation for 12 months. He is prohibited from owning weapons for five years. ASSAULT WITH A WEAPON A Brussels woman pled guilty to assault with a weapon. Elizabeth MacLean was arrested Aug. 17 after brandishing a pitchfork at the victim during an argument. MacLean received a conditional discharge and 12 months probation. She must provide a sample of DNA and is prohibited from owning weapons for five years. GUILTY PLEAS Justin McKinley of Wroxeter pled guilty to marijuana possession and to mischief under $5,000. Facts and sentencing will be Dec. 11. Court newsMan gets 7 months in jail With some area crops now being harvested Huron OPP officers are urging both the farming community and the general motoring public to exercise proper road safety.
