On the evening of March 31st, 2025 police were conducting a RIDE spot check in Normanby when a vehicle attempted to evade the spot check. Officers pursued the vehicle and observed it driving erratically and dangerously in an attempt to lose police. The vehicle was eventually stopped and a male driver from West Grey was identified and charged with Flight from a Police Officer and Dangerous Driving as well as several HTA offences. The male was seen before the Ontario Court of Justice Walkerton at a later date.
On April 5th, 2025 police attended an address in the town of Durham for a report of a female who had ben released from custody and was breaching her release conditions. Through the course of their investigation, police discovered that the female was in breach of her release by way of contacting the victim and had yelled several racial slurs at the victim as well. The female suspect was arrested and charged with two counts of failure to comply; she was seen before the Ontario Court of Justice Walkerton at a later date.
On April 7th, 2025 while police were conducting school patrols in the town of Durham, a vehicle was stopped for a stop sign infraction. When attending to speak with the driver, police noticed a very strong odour of alcohol coming from the driver. The driver provided a sample of his breath into an ASD, which registered as a ‘FAIL.’ The male was arrested and transported back to West Grey Police Service where he provided a sample of his breath which resulted in readings of 150mgs of alcohol in 100ml of blood – almost twice the legal limit. The male was charged accordingly and was seen before the Ontario Court of Justice Walkerton at a later date.
