FROM/DE: HURON OPP DATE: February 4, 2010
LONDON MALE
ARRESTED FOR CRIMINAL HARASSMENT
(CENTRAL HURON, ON)
A 30 year old London male
has been charged with one count of Criminal Harassment. The victim is a Central Huron woman who he
had made contact with several years ago through an online dating
service. After the two met, the female
was not interested in continuing with a relationship. On January
31, 2010 the London
man made contact with the victim with the hopes of arranging a meeting for a
sexual purpose. The female advised she
was not interested in having any contact with the male. The following day the male began phoning
the female and throughout the course of the day he called her nearly one
hundred times. He indicated at the
time that he was near her residence.
With the
assistance of the London Police Service, Thomas W.P.
O’CONNER was arrested in London on February 2, 2010. He was brought back to Huron County for a bail hearing to answer to
one count of Criminal Harassment.
After his hearing he was released and his next court date will be March
1, 2010
at the Ontario Court of Justice - Goderich. LP10027881
BEAUTY HAS A PRICE
(CENTRAL HURON, ON)
Shortly before 9:00 am on February 3, 2010 a female driver was
witnessed on London Road
near Clinton to be applying eye
makeup while driving. An officer was patrolling in the area when he witnessed
the infraction. The female was stopped
and as a result of the investigation, Elizabeth PECK (22) of Huron East was
charged with one count of Careless Driving.
Although the Distracted Driving legislation speaks to the
use of hand-held devices while driving, officers have always had the
discretion to lay a charge of Careless Driving where the circumstances
dictated that was appropriate.
Careless Driving speaks to driving “without due care and
attention”. Motorists need to
remember that driving is an active job that requires full attention. Although we multitask in many other areas
of our lives, while driving is NOT the time.
