The Citizen, 2007-06-28, Page 21Andrew Procter of RR4, Brusselspled guilty in Wingham’s provincialcourt, June 20, to failing to stop for apolice officer. Attorney for the Crown Frank
Cameron said Wingham police had
noticed a group of snowmobilers at a
gas station on Jan. 17. With them
was an ATV, which are prohibited in
North Huron.
When the officer signalled for the
group to pull over, “all three looked
towards (the officer), then left,”
Cameron said.
Police followed the snowmobiles,
which travelled at high speeds and
went through some stop signs. The
pursuit ended when the
snowmobilers crossed into a field.
Defence counsel Tim Macdonald
noted that Procter had eventually
turned himself in.
Judge R.G.E. Hunter fined Procter
$1,000. He has six months to pay.
DRIVING WHILE
SUSPENDED
A Bluevale man pled guilty to
driving while his licence was
suspended.
Cameron said police officers had
seen Travis Chambers driving in
Wingham on Sept. 6. “They knew
him and knew his licence had been
suspended.”
Hunter fined the accused $1,000,
which he has six months to pay.
OBSTRUCT POLICE
Giving the police a rough time has
proven costly for a Kitchener man.
Police were contacted at 1 a.m.
April 8 about a man who was “acting
belligerant and disturbing
customers” in a Wingham pub.
When the officers asked TrevorHuffman to leave he did, cursing thepatrons on his way out. However at 3a.m. Huffman re-entered thebusiness and when police came he
fled out a rear door.
The police caught up to him and
he was resistive and unco-operative,
said Cameron.
Huffman has a conviction from
February of breaching probation.
Duty counsel Grant MacKinnon
said that Huffman has since been
taking counselling.
Huffman was fined $1,000 which
is to be paid in six months.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
Robert Nesbitt of Wingham stood
trial on a charge of sexual assault.
The victim, a 47-year-old woman,
testified that she had been visiting ata friend’s apartment and had gone toNesbitt’s, a neighbour, to use thephone as her friend didn’t have one.She said she had done this three or
four times in the past.
On this occasion, however, when
she got up to leave, the 73-year-old
accused extended his right hand. The
victim said she took his hand and
shook it to say goodbye and thank
him. “He pulled it away and put his
hand up between my legs and into
my crotch,” she said. “He moved the
index finger and said ‘Do you like
the feel of it?’”
When defence attorney Lynn
Johnston in cross examination asked
the victim if she had been looking
towards the door as she prepared to
leave, she responded, “At that point Iwas looking at his hand, quitesurprised it was between my legs.”Wingham police chief Tim Poolesaid that when he went to arrest
Nesbitt the accused was co-
operative. When he explained why
he was under arrest, he said Nesbitt’s
response was, “I remember her
coming to use the phone but I don’t
remember that part.”
During cross-examination the
accused said he remembered the
victim knocking and asking to use
the phone. He remembered saying
yes as long as she didn’t call long
distance. As for the rest,” I didn’t do
it as far as I’m concerned. I don’t
remember it.”
Nesbitt had been drinking, but said
not more than five or six beers sinceearly afternoon. “I’m going to suggest what shedescribes is what happened,” saidCameron.
“I don’t know. I don’t remember
that,” Nesbitt answered.
Hunter decided the Crown had
proven its case beyond a reasonable
doubt. “Whether it’s a manner of
speaking that he doesn’t remember
because it didn’t happen.. I accept
the evidence of the plaintiff and not
the evidence of the accused.”
Nesbitt has a similar conviction
from 2000.
Hunter fined him $500, which
Nesbitt has 60 days to play. He is on
probation for 12 months and must
submit a sample of his DNA.

At the diamond in Walton the
Brewers hosted Exeter. The game
went into extra innings before
Walton earned the 3-2 victory.
Paul Dolmage pitched five innings
with Scott Leonhardt finishing the
game. Barry Young had a home run
and it took a couple of timely hits
and a solid single by Steve Hoff to
score the winning run in the bottom
of the eighth.
The Brewers travelled to Wroxeter
to play the next night and suffered a
loss. It was a high scoring game
which finished at 1-7. Scott
McDonald pitched five innings and
was relieved by Leonhardt for the
last two.
The Brewers battled well but
unfortunately errors played a large
factor in the loss.
The Brewers third game of the
week was also a loss. Sunday
afternoon the Goderich Orioles
visited Walton diamond to give
Walton a 3-2 loss in extra innings.
Leonhardt was on the hill for the
entire game and again errors didn’t
help the Brewer cause, bringing their
record to 7-4.
The Walton Wonders ladies’ slo-
pitch team had a good game
Thursday evening against the RBIs.
Two homeruns by LeeAnn
Konarski and Jolene McNichol
started Walton’s at bat on the way to
the 12-8 win. Lisa DeJong was hot at
bat going three for four for the game,
and Sandra Josling hit a triple.
The Walton Masters played in
Monkton last weekend and came
away with one win and two losses.
Pitching game one was Dave Smith
taking the 2-0 loss. Game two was
Terry Elligsen earning the 11-2 win

the 3-2 loss.
Playing for Walton were Brad
Knight, Steve Knight, Brian and Jeff

Strome, Jim and Rick McDonald
and Bruce Pearn. All-star plays
included Scott Robinson’s diving
