Crime Stoppers of Huron
County Inc. and the Goderich
Police Force arc seeking the as-
sistancc of the public in solving
this break, enter and theft which
took place in Goderich.
An employee of the Goderich
Post Office arrived to work on
October 29,1987 at approxi-
mately 5:55 a.m. After entering
the building he noticed that a cart
normally stored in the vault was
in the middle of .the room and
mail was thrown on the floor.
Police believe the thieves
forced the lock on the front door
with vice -grips and then punched
the lock out of the interior doors.
Once inside the thieves moved
quickly to the vault. They then
managed to open the (vault with-
out breaking the lock. Inside the
vault the culprits forced cup-
boards and money trays in search
of the cash and stamps. They
opened some mail, removed sev-
eral credit cards from the enve-
lopes but did not take any., It
appears they left using the rear
doors into an empty parking lot.
The total loss in cash and stamps
was between $60,000 and
$70,000.

EXETER - Judge R.G.E. Hunter
dealt with a full court docket at the
May 10 session of provincial court
in Exeter.
Blair E. Patton. London, pleaded
guilty to possession of narcotics,
and was fined $100 with 30 days to
pay. A police officer had detected
the odour of burning cannabus
when Patton was stopped in a
spot check on March 5 at 8:45
p.m. in Usborne township. A
small quantity of the substance
with a value of $5 had been found
in the accused's jacket pocket. Pat-
ton had no previous record.
Paul F. Masse, Exeter, was sen-
tenced to 90 days in jail to be
served on weekends beginning May
14 when he pleaded guilty to -driv-
ing while disqualified. He could
not produce a driver's licence when
stopped for a highway traffic act
violation on December 30 on a
concession road in Usbome town-'
ship.
Masse had lost his licence last
November 10 when Judge Hunter
found him guilty of impaired driv-
ing, fincd him $500 and suspended
his licence for three months.
Diana Martyn, Brantford, pleaded
guilty to public mischief. She had
called police to 436 Main St., Ex-
eter on July 4 to report her apart-
ment had been entered and robbed.
The next day she gave police a list
of missing items, including a gold
ring valued at $250. Investigation
revealed the ring had been sold to a
London store on June 9. •
Martyn also pleaded guilty to an
attempt to defraud after a cheque
she gave for groceries at Less Val-
umart was returned NSF. Restitu-
tion has been made.
Martyr was given suspended sen-
tences

ed guilty to stealing food from ,

shop -lifting charges
with a plastic bag containing two
packages of cheese and four packag-
es of garbage bags.

ing $100 worth of goods before get-
ting caught. She had enough mon-
ey in her purse to pay for the items.
Judge Hunter imposed a fine of
$350, with 30 days to pay. He ex-
plained the fine was high, because
Love had been in a position of
trust.
Kenneth Sinclair Miller, RR1
Kirkton, pleaded guilty to having a
blood alcohol content over 80 when
stopped for erratic driving on March
12 on Highway 83 in Usbornc
township. Two breath samples

fine, and loses his licence for 12
months.
Randy Wilson, 165 Columbia
Dr., Huron Park, pleaded guilty to
charges arising from three separate
incidents, was fined a total of $400
or 20 days in jail, and given 60 days
to pay.
Wilson had been charged with
causing a disturbance when police
were called to Mac's Milk on Janu-
ary 30 after the accused got into a
shoving match in the store and a
display was knocked over. The fine
was $100 or five days in jail.
Wilson was charged with causing
wilful damage after police were
called to 155 Columbia Drive by

come to her home after being evict-
ed from the Albatross Tavern, had
sworn at her boarder, and slammed a
screen door, breaking a window. A
cheque for $132.09 was issued to
Snell the day of the court session.
Wilson was fined $500 or five days.

5200 on an assault charge after the
accused ordered his german Shepherd
to attack two police officers who
came to his residence. The police-
men had managed to close the door,
but said they believed the dog was
capable of injuring them.
John Joscph King, London, was
found guilty of impaired driving and
failure to provide a breath sample,
despite his pleas of not guilty.
- The charges arose from an acci-
dent in Exeter on June 12, 1987.
Leslie MacDonald, RR2 Crediton,
testified he was stopped, in heavy
traffic on Main St. between 7:00
and 8:00 p.m., waiting to turn left
onto Victoria, when he heard brakes
and a truck rear-ended his vehicles,
moving it 30 to 40 feet.
The truck driver had slurred
speech, alcohol odour, and couldn't
walk straight.
MacDonald said at least 10 vehi-
cles had passed him on the right
while he waited to turn. His vehi-
cles was demolished, and he suffered
a shoulder injury.
The police officer sent to the
scene said the accused had trouble
finding insurance and ownership pa-
pers. He smelled of alcohol, his
.eyes were bloodshot, he was drool-
ing and in a happy mood. He had
difficulty getting the operator to
place a call to his lawyer, who ad-
vised him to take the breathalyzer
test.
King was arrested for impaired
driving, and a further charge was
. laid when he refused to blow.
Evidence showed King had been
convicted on similar charges in July
1984. Hunter took into considera-
tion the fact there had been an acci-
dent and some injuries whcn he sen-
tenced King to 30 days in jail on
the first charge, and a concurrent 15
days on the second. to be served on
weekends.
