The Owen Sound Police Service is currently investigating an armed robbery that occurred in the city Sunday afternoon.
On Sunday January 18th, a patrol officer was flagged down at the intersection of 8th Street East and 2nd Avenue East by the victims who had been robbed. The victims had met with a male that was known to them. The male then displayed a firearm in an alley area, took a substantial amount of cash from one of the victims and fled. The Criminal Investigation Branch attended and took over the investigation. Late Monday afternoon the male suspect was arrested by police and held in custody for bail hearing.
An 18-year-old Owen Sound man appeared in the Ontario Court of Justice on Monday morning on the following charges:
CHATSWORTH - Drivers should be cautious when approaching intersections, especially during the winter months, Grey County OPP warn.
In winter, the approaches to a stop sign can become more slippery than the rest of the road. When approaching an intersection you should decelerate well in advance to avoid a possible slippery condition.
During a power outage when traffic signals are not functioning, the intersection becomes a four-way stop. Even when you have the right-of- way at a stop condition, always watch the vehicle approaching the intersection to make sure they come to a complete stop safely.
SOUTHERN BRUCE COUNTY – During the recent winter storm, South Bruce OPP officers closed some area roads in the interest of public safety. Some of the road closures lasted for days, which is inconvenient and frustrating, but driving on a closed road is not just illegal, it's gambling with safety.
During the last storm, warnings were given and charges were laid as South Bruce OPP officers encountered vehicles on the closed roads. A few motorists chose to drive around a road closed barricade and continue driving along the closed road in the presence of a marked police cruiser.
CHATSWORTH - On Sunday, January 18, 2015 at approximately 4:05 p.m., Grey County OPP received a report of a vehicle that ran into the ditch after the driver failed to stop at a posted stop sign at the intersection of Concession 2 and the Massie Road in the Township of Chatsworth.
The lone driver of the vehicle, a Toyota RAV 4 SUV, was found to have been drinking alcohol. Investigation revealed he was currently on a court order not to possess or consume alcohol. He was not injured as a result of the collision.
A 27-year-old Chatsworth man was charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle – over 80 mgs and breach of recognizance. He was arrested and held in custody pending a bail hearing on Monday, January 19, 2015. His next court appearance is scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2015 in Owen Sound.
In an effort to provide college operations as fully as possible, Georgian's campus closure procedure has been changed to allow for the possibility of re-opening campuses that have closed earlier in the day due to weather or other emergency situations.
A campus may be able to re-open if, for instance:
· weather has improved and parking lots are cleared and sanded
· hydro, heat or water has been interrupted but later restored
· other similar circumstances have been resolved and it's safe and practical to re-open
