Court news
Judge sentences man to 90 days in jail
A Wingham man was sentenced to
jail after appearing in Wingham
court. Feb. 17.
Timothy Michael Cook pled guilty
to three charges of mischief under
$5,000 and one charge of breaching
a probation order.
Crown attorney Bob Morris, said
that on Nov. 20 Wingham Police
Services received a complaint
regarding damage that had been
done to a glass window, a door, two
wreaths at the cenotaph in Wingham
and a nativity scene.
Witnesses had seen four males in
the vicinity around the time that
damage was done. A security tape
from a local business was reviewed
and four men were identified.
Through interviews with the sus
pects. it was determined that Cook
was responsible for some of the
damage.
He was serving a one-year proba
tion term from June 17 at the time.
Duty counsel Lynn Johnston said
Cook had been out drinking for his
19th birthday that night and “got car
ried away.”
He was sentenced to 60 days for
the first mischief charge and 60 days
each concurrent on the other two. He
was given a 30-day consecutive sen
tence for breaching probation. His
sentence is to be served intermittent
ly-
He was given 90 days to pay resti
tution in the amount of $324. 57.
Cook was also placed on 12
months probation.
Fraud
Jacqueline Waechter of Brussels
was given a 90-day intermittent sen
tence for defrauding the provincial
government of close to $21,000.
Morris said that Waechter, who
pled guilty, had applied for welfare
in 1998. She was expecting her sec
ond child at the time. In her applica
tion she said that she was not receiv
ing support from her ex-husband
who was the father of her first child.
After her second child was born,
she asked for her file to be updated,
claiming that she couldn’t locate her
ex and that the father of her second
child was dead.
She continued to receive payments
until June 30, 2000. The total was
$20,748.65. It was eventually
learned that Waechter had been liv
ing the entire time with her husband,
who was father to both children.
Waechter, said Morris, has a prior
conviction for fraud from October
1998.
Discussing the pre-sentence report
Fraud scam
reaches Huron
Huron OPP would like to make
the public aware of a phone solicita
tion that leads to a door-to-door mar
keting scam.
Two elderly residents of Huron
County in A-C-W and Seaforth
received a phone call regarding a
demonstration of a vacuum cleaner
or air purifying and home cleaning
system by Miracle Mare.
Both victims also indicated that
recently they had been called about a
survey being done in the area.
In one call they identified them
selves as the Canadian Health and
Homecare Association, which is not
true.
The two reports indicate that the
victims were told they had won a
prize valued at $150 which turned to
be someone doing steam cleaning in
Johnston said that the 28-year-old
had been desperate to get out of
financial difficulties and has since
made full restitution. She said
Waechter is very active in the com
munity and is a different person than
she was then.
“The aggravating fact is that she
committed this fraud while on pro
bation for another one.” said Judge
R.G.E. Hunter.
In addition to the jail term
Waechter was placed on probation
for 12 months. She is to hold no
position with any organization that
requires the handling of money.
Dangerous Driving
Randy Keyes of RR1, Bluevale
pled guilty to dangerous driving.
Morris said that on Aug. 14. Keyes
was operating a vehicle in Morris-
Turnberry and drove through a stop
sign into the left lane. He collided
with another car in which was a man
a d his young daughter. The child
received minor bumps and bruises,
but the father had two cracked cervi
cal vertebra requiring him to wear a
halo.
Morris also noted that Keyes has
“an unenviable record for driving
offences.”
He was sentenced to $750 and is
prohibited from driving for 12
months. Keyes has nine months to
pay the fine.
Conditional discharge
Car taken
from
storage
On Feb. 1 at approximately 4 p.m.
OPP were contacted about the theft
of a vehicle from a garage on
Molesworth Line in Huron East.
The officer learned that a vehicle
had been stored in the garage at the
mentioned address last year.
Sometime between the spring and
summer of 2004 a person entered
the garage and stole the vehicle. The
car had not been reported until now
due to the owner of the residence
believing the vehicle had been
picked up during the time men
tioned by the car owner.
Stolen is a maroon 1989 Chrysler
Dynasty. The investigation contin
ues. Call OPP or Crime Stoppers if
you can help sove this crime
their home.
Wellington County OPP have had
several similar reports.
Citizens, especially the elderly are
reminded to be cautious.
Legitimate companies have noth
ing to hide and don’t mind ques
tions. Get it in writing. Check them
out. Request detailed written infor
mation, a call back number, local
references and leave yourself time to
think your decision over.
Don’t fall for the high-pressure
sales pitches. Second opinions are
free, why not use one.
You may also want to check with
the Better Business Bureau and
Consumers Services Bureau by
phone or internet.
Be careful, take your time and
protect your cash.
A teacher received a conditional
discharge after pleading guilty to
assault.
Morris said that on Nov. 25 the
victim told police he had been
assaulted by his tech teacher. Gerald
Schuck of RR2, Wallenstein, had
