The Citizen, 1994-05-25, Page 21Man gets 1 year probation
A Brussels-area man was placed
on 12 months probation following
an appearance in Wingham's
provincial court, Wednesday, May
18 on a charge of assault.
Crown Attorney Bob Morris said
that Brian Workman of RR2, Brus
sels, was charged following an inci
dent on Oct. 9 involving Rolph
Huber, an acquaintance of Mr.
Workman's ex-wife.
Mr. Huber, who resides at RR4,
Wingham, testified that on that day
he was followed by Mr. Workman
while driving home from Wing
ham. After Mr. Workman blocked
his path he pulled into Tolton
Motors in Bluevale looking for
"protection" as he "felt there was
going to be trouble", he said.
William Tolton, owner of the
business, said he saw a pickup
truck cut off a car, which he recog
nized as Mr. Huber's. He said Mr.
Huber pulled into the parking lot,
then came into the dealership and
asked him to witness what was
going to happen. He told presiding
Judge R.G.E. Hunter that he saw
what appeared to be an angry
exchange of words between two
men, though admitted he couldn't
hear what was said. Then he said he
saw Mr. Workman throw coffee at
Mr. Huber.
The coffee was not hot and he
had not been injured, Mr. Huber
had said during his testimony.
Another witness, Tim Tolton,
also said he saw the truck cutting
off Mr. Huber's car, but did not see
the confrontation.
Mr. Workman, who acted on his
own behalf said that there had been
some "feuding" between the two
men but it was "nothing serious".
He told Judge Hunter that Mr.
Huber was planning to attend a
family event and was asking him
not to. "I said if he had any respect
for the rest of the family he would
stay away from us that night," said
Mr. Workman, adding that he had
thrown the coffee only after
becoming angry over comments
made by Mr. Huber.
"This man was once a friend of
mine. But I have no use for him
now."
Noting that that was "obvious",
Judge Hunter suspended sentence
and placed Mr. Workman on proba
tion with the condition that he have
no contact whatsoever with Mr.
Huber.
Mischief nets man $1,000 fine
Judge R.G.E. Hunter told a man
who pled guilty to mischief in
Wingham's provincial court, May
18, that he was on the "borderline
of going to jail".
Charges were laid against Dou
glas McArthur, 21, of RR1, Wing
ham following an incident on Oct
9, Judge Hunter was told.
Crown Attorney Bob Morris said
that Mr. McArthur was one of three
passengers in a car driven by his
brother. They had stopped beside a
van in Wingham and begun talking
with the driver Jacqueline Grum-
mett and her passenger. Mr. Morris
said some angry words were
exchanged and the McArthur vehi
cle followed Ms Grummett south
on Hwy 4 through Belgrave, even
tually passing her.
Mr. Morris said Douglas
McArthur began throwing beer bot
tles at the van. The third one hirthe
