Court news
Tussle with police results in $1,700 fine
A tussle with police has cost a
Bluevale man $1,700 after he
entered guilty pleas to three charges
in Wingham’s provincial court,
March 17.
Charged with impaired driving,
assaulting a peace officer and mis
chief under $5,000, Robert
Thompson, pled guilty instead to
careless driving, resisting arrest and
the mischief charge.
Attorney for the Crown Perry Hill,
said OPP Const. Patrick Armstrong
was travelling with an auxiliary offi
cer at 10:46 p.m. June 4 when they
saw an oncoming vehicle veer onto
the right shoulder. Following the car
for a time they saw it cross the cen
tre line on a couple of occasions,
before the driver stopped at his resi
dence.
Speaking with Thompson, the
officer detected an odour of alcohol
and an empty beer bottle was found
in the car. Hill said the officers
“immediately encountered resist
ance” from Thompson. Eventually,
the police subdued the accused with
the aid of pepper spray and placed
him in the cruiser. He repeatedly
kicked the side door and the window
causing damage to the frame.
Hill said Thompson had a previous
conviction for mischief from 1999
and three previous assault charges
dating back to 1984.
Defence counsel, Mr. Menzies
said his 40-year-old client had apol
ogized to the officer and made resti
tution for the damage. Noting that
the guilty pleas had saved the costs
and time of a trial, Menzies stated,
“Gone to trial he might have won, he
might have lost. I submit we found
the correct balance.”
Judge R.G.E Hunter accepted the
joint submission for $800 each for
the driving charge and for resisting
arrest, and $100 for the mischief.
Thompson was given six months to
pay.
Careless driving
A Wingham man pled not guilty to
the original charge of dangerous
driving, but guilty to the lesser
charge of careless driving.
Services heard the loud squealing of
tires, then a brief moment later
received a complaint from a resident
regarding a vehicle that had almost
hit a parked car on her property.
Hill said a number of witnesses
had seen the car leave a driveway,
cross the centre of the road, do a
donut and come to rest next to a
parked vehicle which it had narrow
ly missed. The driver then left at a
high rate of speed.
Hill said the accused was appar
ently upset over an argument.
Defence counsel R. Sempugta said
the 21-year-old has no criminal
record and is remorseful for his
actions. She submitted a letter of
apology from Weishar along with
letters from a friend and Weishar’s
employer.
“He realizes his driving could
have caused injury to person or
property,” said the attorney, adding
that the behaviour was uncharacter
istic of her client.
He was fined $800 and given four
months to pay.
Duane Weishar was arrested Sept.
4 after an incident in Wingham. An
