Drunk Driver Attacks Partner With Weapon & Keeps Name Out Headlines

(KINCARDINE, ON) – On March 12, 2024, at 9:25 p.m., the South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to an address in Kincardine and initiated an intimate partner violence investigation.

Editor’s Note: It is now common knowledge that if you are being arrested for anything and want to remain anonymous, simply assault a loved one and the police will withhold your name. This is how these criminals treat the people they love and are supposed to protect, imagine how they treat people they don’t like. A policy that has lead to a lot of beatings.

As a result of the police investigation, a 36-year-old of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury has been charged with the following Criminal Code offences:

  • Assault with a weapon – two counts
  • Possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose
  • Break & Enter
  • Mischief
  • Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

The accused was held in custody for a bail hearing. The OPP will not release names to protect the identity of the victims.

Victims of intimate partner violence are not alone. If you, or someone you know needs support, there are local resources available to help. One organization you can contact is Victim Services Bruce Grey Perth. If you are in immediate crisis, dial 911.
