Former Blyth resident gets 14 days in jail
A former Blyth-area resident
appeared in court Thursday, Nov.
19, to answer to several charges.
Michael Chapman, 28, of
Seaforth pled guilty to a charge of
assault, one charge of over 80 and a
charge of failing to appear for pur-
poses of identification.
Attorney for the Crown Tim
MacDonald said that on Aug. 9,
police had bccn advised to watch
for a blue-grey pickup which was
being driven erratically.
When they encountered the vehi-
cle, the male driver showed signs
of impairment and couldn't produce
his driver's license. The girl, who
had been crying, Macdonald said,
told police she had been assaulted.
Failing the roadside test, Chap-
man was taken to Seaforth for
breathalizer tests. The readings
were 140 mg of alcohol in 100 ml
of blood and 130.
With respect to the assault, Mac-
donald told Judge Garry Hunter
that the victim and the accused had
been drinking and an altercation
became physical on both sides.
However, he said, Chapman "went
overboard, past any self-defense."
The issue regarding a failure to
appear was from Feb. 9.
The only relevant record is a con-
viction for impaired driving, for
which he received a $300 fine in
1996.
Defense Counsel Phil Cornish
asked Judge Hunter to consider that
the breathalizer readings were not
significantly high. He noted that the
accused's relationship with the vic-
tim has continued without any fur-
ther incident.
Chapman, Cornish said, is now
involved in sessions with family
services, and as he works full-time,
asked the Judge to consider any jail
time be served intermittently.
Chapman was sentenced to 14
days to be served weekends and is
suspended from driving for two
years. He was fined $400 for the
assault and placed on 12 months
probation. There is also a five-year
weapons prohibition. For failing to
appear he was fined $600.
He was given six months to pay.
IMPAIRED
A Wingham man is off the road
for two years and in jail for two
weeks, having pled guilty to
impaired driving.
Macdonald said Terry Keddy of
Wingham was charged May 15. At
2:55 a.m. police in a cruiser at the
firchall parking lot in Wingham,
had heard a vehicle roaring through
the gears. They followed it at a
high rate of speed until the driver
pulled into a farm.
The driver showed signs of
impairment, but breathalizer read-
ings were not able to be obtained as
there was a problem with the
machine, said Macdonald.
The 26-year-old Keddy, who
pled guilty to the charge, was found
guilty on Jan. 28, 1997 of a drunk
driving charge.
His 14 day jail term will be
served on weekends.
Police report
OPP warn of pyramid scam
QUEEN BEE PYRAMID SCAM
The Huron OPP detachment is
presently investigating a pyramid
scheme in the Bayfield area.
Earlier in the summer officers
received a letter advising that this
scheme was taking place.
The pyramid works as follows:
people are asked to invest $10,000
in a woman's investment club,. then
seven friends also invest $10,000,
then wait approximately three to
four weeks to be categorized as the
Queen Bee when the $10,000 turns
into $40,000.
Anyone with information on this
scam is asked to contact Detective
Mike Scott of the Huron OPP at
524-8314 or call Crime Stoppers.
HOME RENOVATION SCAM
- COLBORNE TWP.
On Nov. 27, a resident from
Colborne Twp. reported a home
renovation scam to OPP.
That day three men attended his
residence driving a navy coloured
Chev van.
The one male convinced him that
his trailer needed more insulation
for the roof plus more roof vents.
The owner then checked on the
work in progress and found that the
roof already had sufficient
insulation. The three men were told
to stop the rest of the work and
after some discussion received
some money and left.
The Huron OPP would remind all
homeowners to be aware of this
and other renovation scams in the
area.
Consultants will present a report
of all waste management options,
including landfill sites and export
opportunities, to Huron County
council early in the new year.
Steve Janes of CG&S/Janes
Associates said export options had
been pushed to the forefront by a
presentation of Morris Twp. resi-
dents who felt exporting garbage to
landfills outside the county was
more economical and safer than
expanding the Morris Twp. landfill
to serve as a zone landfill for the
northern part of the county.
Janes said four possible recipi-
ents for exported waste would he
asked for firm figures, including
Bluewater Recycling. Questioned
by Bruwis' Reeve Ralph Watson,
Janes said the price would include
not just tipping fees but operation
DRIVER FAILS TO STOP FOR
SCHOOL BUS
On Nov. 19, at approximately
6:15 p.m. the Huron OPP
Detachment were contacted by a
local bus company over a vehicle
failing to stop for the school bus
with lights flashing and signal arm
(stop sign) out.
The bus driver was able to
provide license plate number and
description of the driver. The
owner was contacted and charges
under the Highway Traffic Act for
failing to stop for the school bus
have been laid against a 50-year-
old male from Morris Twp.
TRAILER STOLEN
On Nov. 27, around 9 a.m. a theft
was reported from McGavin Farm
Equipment in Walton.
Sometime in the last two weeks a
16' x 8' trailer was removed from
the yard. The trailer has an Ontario
Plate #S41-725 on it with a VIN
number of
#2S9U7W62XV1057486.
This dual axle trailer is blue in
colour and has 16-inch high sides
and is valued at $3,000.
CHARGES LAID IN HIGH
SPEED PURSUIT
On Nov. 28, at approximately 5
a.m. OPP officers were attempting
to stop a 1993 Chev pickup truck,
white in colour for a traffic
violation. The pickup truck was
southbound on County Rd. 4
travelling at a high rate of speed
going through Belgrave,
Officers attempted to stop the
vehicle but the driver refused to
of a transfer station in Huron Coun-
ty and transportation to whatever
landfill would be used. Currently
two landfills in southwestern
Ontario arc licenced to take waste
from outside their own area while
another company has a landfill in
Michigan and is trying to get a
licence for one at Watford.
Unofficial prices are being quot-
ed from $65-$85 a tonne, he said.
Meanwhile the Ministry of Envi-
ronment is trying to determine the
final capacity of all county landfill,
Janes said. This will give munici-
palities a firm limit as to how much
their landfill can hold.
Warden Jack Coleman wondered
if, given the situation, the county
should be looking at a price from a
company to take all the county's
waste. Janes suggested that would
be a good idea.
pull over. The vehicle drove across
lawns and into ditches several
times trying to avoid apprehension.
The driver abandoned the vehicle
in Grey Twp. The Canine and
Emergency Response Team were
called and at 7:30 a.m. a 21-year-
old male was arrested. Further
