PAGE 21. Court news Man jailed for marijuana production A Wingham man is spending weekends in jail after pleading guilty to a charge of marijuana production in Wingham's provincial offences court, Sept. 19. Van Russell White was charged April 11 after police executed a search warrant at his residence. Federal Crown Mike Donnelly said 80 plants in various stages of growth. were found in the basement along with a high-intensity grow light and other marijuana production equipment. Police also found about 500 gm of dried plants in a bag in the pantry as well as a small amount in the house. Stating it was not a "particularly sophisticated" operation, Donnelly offered a joint submission for 90 days to be served intermittently. Defence counsel noted her client's early plea and his co-operation with the investigation. In addition to the sentence, Judge Garry Hunter also placed White on 12 months probation. There is also a 10-year weapon prohibition. Drunk driving A Lucknow man pled guilty to driving with over 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood. Lawyer for the Crown Paul Ross said that Robert MacMillan was travelling in North Huron on July 23 when a police officer on patrol saw the accused throw a beer bottle from the window of his vehicle. The officer, after stopping MacMillan, found four full bottles of beer behind the driver and three empties under the seat. The accused admitted consuming two beers. Breathalizer readings were 272 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood and 251 mg. MacMillan was fined $1,000 and is off the road for a year. He was given 12 months to pay. Own firearms Theodore Thompson of Wroxeter was lined $300 for failing to comply with an order that he not possess any firearms or licenses and $300 for possessing firearms where he was not entitled to possess them. Thompson pled guilty to both counts. Ross said that on March 20 the accused had been released on his own undertaking with regards to an incident involved an aKeged threat with the use of firearms. Any he owned were to be turned over to the police. It was discovered that Thompson owned a Smith and Wesson .22 calibre handgun and Ruger .22 rifle which he had not turned over, nor did he turn over licences for the guns. An officer contacted him twice with regards to this, Ross said. Defence counsel, Mr. Ferguson, explained that at the time of Thompson's arrest he advised the officer that there was an application for a licence in process. The other guns were stored in another residence. Thompson was given six months to pay the fine. Mischief The judge was less than amused when he heard the information regarding Martin Sturzenegger's guilty plea. The Auburn-area youth had been with a group travelling in a vehicle on Marnoch Line in North Huron on June 15, when the accused got out and demolished a mailbox. Damage was estimated at $20-$40. "That must have been hysterical," said Hunter. Sturzenegger was given a conditional discharge and placed on 12 months probation. He must also make restitution in the amount of $40. Conditional discharge Kristie Palen of Exeter pled guilty to causing a disturbance in a public place by fighting Aug. 10. She and another woman were "actively fighting" in front of a bar in Wingham when officers saw them. When police tried to break it up the girls "resisted", said Ross. Palen has no record. She was placed on 12 months probation with a conditional discharge. She is to have no contact with the other person involved. Suspended sentence Hunter suspended passing of sentence on an assault case. Carey Joseph Beard of North Huron pled guilty to a charge relating to July 24. Ross said Beard had argued with the victim, grabbed her and pushed her. He has no related record. Beard was placed on probation for a year and is not to associate with the victim. There is also a five-year weapon prohibition. Narcotic possession Jeffrey Camm of Clifford pled guilty to marijuana possession. On Sept. 23 after being stopped in a routine check, Camm was searched and police found a small bag containing marijuana in his front pocket. He was given a conditional discharge and placed on 12 months probation. Absolute discharge H. David Wolstenholme of Wingham pled guilty to failing to comply with an order that he reside at a specific residence and notify RCMP of any change. The accused, who was to be staying in Bluevale, was arrested June 25 in Wingham. Duty Counsel John Schenk explained that Wolstenholme was staying with someone at the residence to support them during an illness. Mischief Kathy E. Burbidge was granted absolute discharge after pleading guilty to mischief under $5,000. Ross said that officers were called to an apartment unit on Feb. 22 because a woman had broken a window. A second call said that there was "screaming" in the unit. Burbidge was intoxicated at tie time. She told the court that she had joined Alcoholics Anonymous and had been sober for six months. "Good," said Hunter before granting the discharge. Peace bond Ryan McDougall entered into a 12-month peace bond. He is to have no contact with the complainant.
