Busy Few Days

Several unlocked vehicles and a shed on the city’s west side were entered sometime Friday evening resulting in their owners calling police Saturday morning to report items stolen which included CD’s, cash, a camera, a wallet, cell phone and a pair of binoculars, as well as some beer and homemade wine. Four bicycles were also stolen in the same area.

On the weekend Owen Sound Police Service Officers arrested a 15-year-old Owen Sound male riding one of the stolen bikes. He faces charges of Theft Under $5,000; Possession of Stolen Property Under $5,000; Mischief Under $5,000; Break and Enter; and Prowl By Night. He was released with certain conditions including a curfew, and will go to Court in the middle of September to answer to the charges.

Further investigation into the thefts have also led to the arrest of an 18-year-old Owen Sound male who also faces the same charges as the younger male but has an additional charge of Fail to Comply with Sentence under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. This male was also released from custody and will appear in Court at the end of August.

What started as a visit by a 26-year-old Owen Sound male to the residence of a female friend in Owen Sound has led to the arrest of the female’s 42-year-old common-law partner. The younger male and the female had been drinking and an argument broke out between the common-law couple. When the female tried to leave the residence with the young male, the older male blocked their way, and pushed to female to the floor. The young male tried to intervene and a struggle ensued between the two males.

Owen Sound Police responded to the residence and further investigation led to the arrest of the older male on a charge of Forcible Confinement, as well as Assault. He was held in custody and released by the Courts on bail with conditions and is to re-appear in Court on the 20th of August.

A 28-year-old Owen Sound male was arrested on the weekend after he forced his way into a downtown apartment and threatened an occupant with a twelve-inch kitchen knife and hammer that he found inside.

Uniformed officers located the male and the stolen knife and hammer a block away from the apartment. David Carefoot is charged with Uttering Threats; Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose; Assault with a Weapon; Unlawfully in a Dwelling; Theft Under $5,000; and Failing to Comply with an Undertaking.

A young man retuned home shortly after midnight on Sunday morning to find his mother being assaulted by a live-in companion. The victim was heard by a passing motorist yelling for help and for someone to call the police.

Uniformed Owen Sound Police Officers arrived to find the front door to the residence secured but a female screaming for help from inside so they forced their way in and found the two males fighting on the floor. Once separated the 50-year-old Owen Sound male was arrested and charged with Assault; and Choking. He was remanded into custody and will re-appear in Court on the 22nd of July.

Alcohol was a factor.

*******

A 20-year-old Owen Sound male, attempting to do the right thing by stopping his friend from driving after consuming alcohol, has found himself going to court.

Uniformed officers responded to the call of two males fighting on the lawn of an eastside residence just around 4:20 a.m. on Monday morning. When officers arrived the male friend had fled the scene but Darcy Olinskie was lying on the sidewalk in an intoxicated state which was a breach of a no alcohol condition of an Undertaking for previous charges. He was held in custody but has since been released on bail with conditions and is to re-appear in Court on the 30th of July.
