Man allegedly shot with taser by police in Seaforth
Shaun Gregory
Postmedia Network
It's usually a quiet com-
munity in terms of crime or
responses from the police
in small-town Seaforth,
however last night was dif-
ferent as the OPP took
down a man with a taser.
A witness from the area
who requested his/her
name not to be mentioned
in the story saw the whole
escapade up -close and
center.
The undisclosed source
said the episode caught
his/her attention when the
alleged suspect was
observed standing near
Main Street and John
Street; the man looked sus-
picious. "It was weird," the
witness said.
After that, some back and
forth yelling developed.
Then the alleged suspect
ran to a white pickup truck,
opened the driver's side
door and began "rummag-
ing" through the vehicle.
The witness said the
police told the man three
times, "Put your hands
where I can see them."
The demands were
unsuccessful.
"Then they shot the man
with a taser.:"
The witness said the man
yelled in pain immedi-
ately, describing the chain
of events that unfolded last
Thursday night.
The OPP remained at the
scene until the next day.
The supposed suspect's
truck was towed today
around 11 a.m. The tow
truck driver told the Expos-
itor, from past instances,
this is the third time he has
tended to the vehicle.

a man was tasered the day before by the OPP after reaching for
something inside the vehicle.
The suspect's matter has
been adjourned until
Monday for a plea. He is
charged with break and
enter, dangerous operation
of a motor vehicle, mischief
under $5000, uttering a
threat, obstruction of a
police officer, possession of
a substance and an inse-
cure load (relating to his
vehicle).

With his hand on the Bible, Jim Ginn, left, is sworn in as county
warden by former warden Paul Gowing and county CAO Brenda
Orchard.
Central Huron
mayor Ginn elected
Huron warden

Central Huron mayor Jim
Ginn has been elected war-
den of Huron County.
Nominated by Goderich
deputy mayor Jim Donnel-
ley and running unop-
posed, Ginn was elected to
the position Wednesday,
Nov. 23, taking over for Paul
Gowing on finishing his
two-year term at the head
of the county.
The newly elected war-
den said bringing broad-
band access to homes in
the county and finding a
positive solution to shore-
line management to control
erosion along the lakefront
are two issues he hopes to
tackle during his two-year
term.
He said bringing broad-
barnd access to households
in Huron is a "very impor-
tant issue" for him.
"As far as I'm concerned
broadband access is infra-
structure. It's as important
as roads or water lines,
sewers, hydro, those types
of things," he said.
The other is bank stability,
which has received a lot of
attention recently with the
Ausable Bayfield Conserva-
tion Authority attempting to
come up with a shoreline
management plan.
The solution they come up
with, he said, must consider
both the environment and
property values, among
other considerations.
"We need to instil in peo-
ple things they need to do to
help protect [the shoreline]
whether that is leaving trees
or whether that's in fact
learning to love beach grass
that protects our lake shore.
Things like that we look for-
ward to dealing with in the
future," he said.
Also, Huron County will
be hosting to the 100th Inter-
national Plowing Match
(IMP) next year, which Ginn
said was a reason why he put
his name forward to be
warden.
Ginn said, especially dur-
ing an IPM year, the ward
should be a farmer.
"I do feel strongly in the
year of the plowing match
the warden should be a
farmer. It should be some-
one that is knowledgeable,
[has] access to a lot of people
in positions in power and, I
think, having a farmer there
that can talk the talk and
walk the walk goes a long
ways instilling in them the
value of the agriculture in
our area. Those are some
things I look forward to
doing," he said.
He then thanked the staff
before commencing with his
first council meeting.
Ginn is the fourth genera-
tion of his family to sit on
Huron County council.
